Rutha
Meaning of Rutha
Rutha (ROO-thuh) is a lyrical offshoot of the venerable Hebrew name Ruth, which means “companion” or “friend.” While Ruth evokes timeless tales of devotion and golden harvest fields, Rutha adds a gentle flourish that feels both vintage and refreshingly distinct. In mid-20th-century Florida, Rutha appeared steadily among the mid-hundreds on girls’ birth lists—peaking with 21 newborns in 1928—before drifting into a quiet elegance by the late 1950s. In India, its soft cadence might conjure the murmur of monsoon rains upon jasmine blossoms or the shimmering drape of a silken saree at dusk. Parents drawn to Rutha often delight in its uncommon charm—though it may prompt an initial double-take, its warm resonance and poetic heritage leave a lasting impression, much like a beloved family heirloom.
