Aashka meaning
Aashka (आशका) is a Hindu girl's name of Gujarati origin.
Receiving a deity's aarti flame and sacred ash as a blessing
Also used to mean: blessings, God's grace
Aashka (आशका, Gujarati આશકા) is a Gujarati name. In Gujarati, āśkā is the act of receiving a deity's blessing at the end of worship: taking the aarti flame and sacred ash, passing the hands over the lamp and then touching them to the eyes. Name lists give Aashka as "blessings" or "God's grace", a natural reading of that gesture. Some sites call the name Sanskrit, but we could not find a Sanskrit word behind it, so we give the Gujarati sense. The television actress Aashka Goradia is a well-known bearer.
