Deepika

Meaning of Deepika

Deepika, pronounced DEE-pee-kə, is a Sanskrit treasure that literally means “little lamp,” immediately evoking a gentle glow that brightens any room. Ideal for parents who want a name both exotic and approachable, Deepika carries a built-in warmth—think of the magnetic charm of actress Deepika Padukone—and suggests a life full of light and grace. In the US it’s a wonderfully rare bird, softly weaving in and out of the top thousand over the past few decades, so your daughter will stand out without feeling too out there. Like a spark in the night, Deepika promises to illuminate her own path—and the hearts of everyone she meets.
