Susila

Susila is an Indonesian masculine given name, representing a local form of the Sanskrit-derived Sushila. In its original context, Sushila can be either feminine or masculine: the feminine form (Suśīlā) refers to a consort of the Hindu god Yama, while the masculine form (Suśīla) is a common given name in India and Nepal. The name is composed of the Sanskrit prefix su- meaning "good" and śīla meaning "conduct, disposition", together translating to "good-tempered, well-disposed".

In Indonesia, Susila is primarily used by Javanese and other communities influenced by Hindu-Buddhist traditions, though Islam is now the dominant religion. The name has variants such as Susilo (Javanese) and Sushil (Nepali), and female bearers include notable figures like Susila Bonnerjee (an Indian-born medical doctor and suffragist active in the UK) and Sri Lankan actresses Susila Kottage and Susila Kuragama.
