Alankrita meaning
Alankrita (अलंकृता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Adorned, decorated
Alankrita (अलंकृता) is the feminine of Sanskrit alaṃkṛta, which Monier-Williams defines as adorned or decorated. It comes from alaṃ-kṛ, literally "to make fit" and so "to adorn", the same verb that gives alaṃkāra, "ornament", a word also used for the figures of speech in Indian poetics. Name lists give "adorned" or "decorated", matching the dictionary. The name is used by Hindi-speaking families. A well-known bearer is the film director Alankrita Shrivastava.
