Drishika (दृशिका, IAST: dṛśikā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “Little vision; the small seer”. Diminutive of dṛk (vision, the act of seeing).

Meaning, etymology & significance

Drishika (दृशिका) is built from dṛk — the Sanskrit root for "to see, the act of seeing" — with the diminutive feminine ending. The literal sense is "little vision" or "the small seer."

Where Phase 2's Dhrishti names "vision," Drishika gives it the gentle diminutive form — appropriate for a daughter rather than the abstract concept. The name carries the same seeing-quality in a softer key.
