Sokha

Meaning of Sokha

Sokha traces its roots to Cambodia’s Khmer language, where it embodies notions of peace, health and well-being, and carries with it the warm gravitas of a name that conjures inner harmony. As a true unisex choice, it has quietly navigated American naming charts since the early 1980s, appearing intermittently with six to eleven newborns per year and settling in the ranks between 770 and 823—an ebb and flow as unassuming as it is steady. Analytically speaking, its modest popularity suggests a select but discerning appeal among parents drawn to names that resonate with cultural depth rather than fleeting trends. In a landscape often dominated by flashier options, Sokha offers a subtle resonance—like a calm current beneath a churning surface—inviting associations of resilience, balance and understated elegance.
