Character Name
Neha
Neha Neha embodies the Sanskrit concept of sneha, a love that is adhesive and nourishing rather than passionate and volatile — the kind of deep affection that sustains rather than consumes. In Indian poetic tradition this quality of love is associated with the monsoon's renewing rain, connecting the name to cycles of abundance and regeneration. It suits characters whose emotional intelligence and capacity for unconditional affection become the quiet center around which others orient themselves.
