Meaning and origin of Suruchi
Suruchi pairs su-, 'good', with ruchi, which means taste, liking, and also light or lustre. Together they suggest refined taste or a pleasing radiance. In the Bhagavata and Vishnu Puranas, Suruchi is the favoured queen of King Uttanapada and the stepmother of the boy devotee Dhruva, a role that is not wholly flattering, yet the name itself has stayed popular because of its gentle meaning. Today it is used across North and West India.
