Abhipsa meaning
Abhipsa (अभीप्सा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Odia usage). By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
The wish to obtain, desire (from abhīps-, "to wish to obtain")
Abhipsa (अभीप्सा) comes from the Sanskrit verb abhīps-, "to wish to obtain", the desiderative form of abhi-āp, "to reach, to attain". Monier-Williams lists the adjectives abhīpsu, "wishing to obtain", and abhīpsita, "desired, acceptable, dear". Abhīpsā is the regular noun from the same verb, the wish or longing for something, though the dictionary does not give it a separate entry. Name lists render Abhipsa as a strong desire or longing, which matches. The name is used mainly in Odisha, alongside the similar Abhilipsa, and is sometimes spelt Abhipsha.
