About the name Siddharth

Siddhartha Gautama abandoned the meaning of his own name to go looking for something else, an irony that has never stopped Hindu families from using it happily. Hermann Hesse's novel carried it into European bedrooms in the twentieth century, giving the name a second, wholly Western set of associations.

Siddharth is a boy name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced sid-DARTH. On the NameRarity scale it scores 71 out of 100, which places it in the rare band — recognisable but seldom used. Distinctive without needing to be spelled out twice. Its strongest period was the 1990s.
