Adipsa (आदीप्सा, IAST: ādīpsā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “The desired one; she who is longed for”. From ādīpsā (desire, longing); the deeply-wished-for.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Adipsa (आदीप्सा) is built from the Sanskrit root īps — to desire — with the prefix ā- (toward). The literal sense is "desire-toward, longing-for." In classical Sanskrit the word names the deep longing of the seeker for what is sought.
In Vedantic usage ādīpsā is the longing of the soul for liberation — distinct from ordinary kāma (desire), it is the dharmically-aligned longing that pulls the soul toward its source. A daughter named Adipsa is therefore named as the very fulfilment of a long-held family wish.
The name is uncommon in 2026 — almost unique — which lends it distinction.
Pronunciation: aa-DEEP-saa. Pair with classical Sanskrit surnames.
Astrology — nakshatra & rashi
