Atmika (आत्मिका, IAST: ātmikā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “Of the soul; the soul-rooted one”. Feminine adjective from ātman (the Self); pertaining to the inner Self.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Atmika (आत्मिका) is built from ātman — the Self, the soul, the inner witness — with the feminine adjectival ending -ikā. The literal sense is "of the soul, soul-rooted." Where Phase 1's Aatmaja names "born of the soul," Atmika names "pertaining to the soul."
In Vedantic usage ātmika is the technical term for things "of the Self" as opposed to ādhibhautika (of the elements) or ādhidaivika (of the gods). To name a daughter Atmika is therefore to mark her with this soul-rooted quality.
The name pairs especially well in families with established Vedantic study.
Pronunciation: AAT-mi-kaa. Pair with classical surnames.
Astrology — nakshatra & rashi
