Deeptara (दीप्तारा, IAST: dīptārā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “Bright star; the radiant luminary”. Compound of dīpta (brilliant) + tārā (star).
Meaning, etymology & significance
Deeptara (दीप्तारा) is built from dīpta (brilliant, blazing) + tārā (star). The literal sense is "bright star" or "the radiant luminary." Where Tara alone names any star, Deeptara specifically emphasises the brilliance of a particular star.
In Sanskrit tradition Dīpta is one of the names of Agni in his blazing aspect; Tara is one of the ten Mahavidyas. Their combination yields a name of unusual luminous power.
A daughter named Deeptara is named with this brilliant-star quality.
Pronunciation: deep-TAA-raa. Pair with classical surnames.
