About the name Sneh

Sneh originally meant oil or anything unctuous, and the shift to affection follows the same logic as a smooth manner in English. The clipped form is used for both, though the lengthened Sneha is now heavily female and pulls the bare name with it.

Sneh is a unisex name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced SNAYH. On the NameRarity scale it scores 93 out of 100, which places it in the ultra rare band — fewer than 1 in 10,000 people carry this name. You will almost never meet another. Its strongest period was the 1980s.
