Meaning and origin of Sudhan
Sudhan is usually explained from Sanskrit su, 'good', and dhana, 'wealth', giving 'one with good wealth' or 'prosperous'. Some families instead link it to sudha, 'nectar', and the spellings overlap, so the meaning is not fixed. It is used mainly in Tamil-speaking families and is less common in North India. Its brief, two-syllable shape makes it easy to pair with long Tamil surnames and patronymics.
