Devangana meaning
Devangana (देवांगना) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, दे, it is a Meen rashi name (Revati nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
A divine woman, a celestial maiden
Also used to mean: heavenly woman
Devangana (देवांगना) is the Sanskrit devāṅganā, made from deva, "god", and aṅganā, "a woman", a word that originally meant one with beautiful limbs. Monier-Williams gives devāṅganā as a divine female, and the word is used in Sanskrit and Hindi for the celestial women of Indra's heaven, such as the Apsarases. Name lists give Devangana as "celestial maiden" or "heavenly woman", which matches the dictionary. It is a graceful, rather literary name, used across North and West India.
