Meaning, etymology & significance
Anjisha (अञ्जिषा) is built from the Sanskrit root añj — to anoint, to shine — with the feminine ending. The literal sense is "the brightening one, she who illumines." The word is closely related to Phase 3's Anjishtha (the superlative "brightest") and the family of añj-rooted names.
In Vedic Sanskrit the añj-root underlies a whole family of words: añjana (anointing-paste, kohl), añjali (cupped hands), Anjali (modern feminine name). Anjisha is the personalised "brightening" feminine.
A daughter named Anjisha is named with this brightening quality as her keynote.
Pronunciation: an-JI-shaa. Pair with classical Vedic-Brahmanic surnames.
