Samyuktha

What does Samyuktha mean?

Samyuktha means ‘united’ or ‘joined’, from the feminine form of Sanskrit saṃyukta. Wiktionary records the adjective with senses of being combined, connected or joined together, and Hindi retains that meaning. The feminine name संयुक्ता adds a long final vowel to the dictionary word. Its meaning is directly supported by the underlying adjective. The princess associated with the name belongs to a separate literary tradition, rather than providing its etymology.
