Suda is a name of Arabic origin, meaning "splendor" or "magnificence." It is often used as a given name for both boys and girls in various cultures around the world.
The name Suda has a rich history dating back to ancient times. In Arabic culture, it is believed to have been one of the 99 Beautiful Names (Asma ul-Husna) attributed to Allah. This association gives the name Suda a deep spiritual significance.
In some African cultures, particularly among the Swahili people, Suda is used as a female given name. It is often associated with strength and beauty, reflecting the qualities of the sun's rays that bring light and warmth.
Among Christian communities, Suda has been adopted as a given name inspired by the Latin word "sudare," which means "to sweat." This connection may have arisen from interpretations of biblical passages describing Jesus Christ's agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, where he is said to have sweated blood (Luke 22:44).
