Deepakshi meaning
Deepakshi (दीपाक्षी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, दी, it is a Meen rashi name (Purva Bhadrapada nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Having eyes like lamps, bright-eyed (dīpa + akṣī)
Also used to mean: bright eyes
Deepakshi (दीपाक्षी) joins Sanskrit dīpa, "a lamp, a light", with -akṣī, "eyed", the form that akṣi, "eye", takes at the end of a compound. It is built in the same way as the goddess names Mīnākṣī, "fish-eyed", and Kāmākṣī, "with loving eyes", and means "one whose eyes shine like lamps". The compound itself is not in the classical dictionaries, but both parts are, and the pattern is an old one for describing beautiful eyes. Name lists give "bright eyes" or "lamp". It is a soft-sounding name with a picture of bright, lamp-like eyes.
