Reference Profile

Etymology

From the Indonesian mega, 'cloud' - from Sanskrit megha.

Notable Historical Usage

Islam reached the Indonesian archipelago through Indian Ocean trade and spread from the coastal ports between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries, mostly without conquest. Arabic names arrived with it and settled alongside the local vocabulary rather than displacing it, which is why Indonesian Muslim naming draws on both.

Cultural / Regional Usage

Used across Indonesian Muslim communities, particularly as a girl's name.
