Arpita meaning
Arpita (अर्पिता) 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.
Offered, entrusted, delivered; fixed or placed upon
Also used to mean: dedicated
Arpita (अर्पिता) is the feminine of Sanskrit arpita, the past participle of arpayati, the causative of ṛ, "to move". Monier-Williams gives a wide spread of senses: inserted or fixed, as eyes or the mind are fixed upon something; thrown into, as an arrow; placed on a picture, that is painted or engraved; and offered, delivered, entrusted or given back. The name carries the last group of senses, something offered with devotion, and name lists give "offered" or "dedicated". The related noun arpaṇa means the act of offering or handing over. Arpitha is a South Indian spelling.
