Bhasita (भासिता, IAST: bhāsitā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “Brilliantly shining; the illuminated one”. Feminine past participle of bhāsay (to make shine); the illuminated.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Bhasita (भासिता) is built from the Sanskrit root bhās — to shine — with the causative past participle feminine ending. The literal sense is "the illuminated one, the brilliantly shining."
In Sanskrit usage bhāsita is closely related to the broader light-vocabulary: bhāsvara (the radiant), Bhāsa (the great Sanskrit dramatist), bhāskara (the sun, "light-maker"). All draw on the same shining-root.
A daughter named Bhasita is named with this brilliantly-shining quality.
Pronunciation: bhaa-SI-taa. Pair with classical surnames.
