Eshana meaning
Eshana (एषणा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, ए, it is a Vrishabh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Seeking; desire; a request, solicitation
Eshana (एषणा) is the Sanskrit noun eṣaṇā. Monier-Williams gives its senses as seeking, desire, and a request or solicitation, and notes that Jain texts use it for the proper conduct of someone begging food. The related form eṣaṇa means "seeking" or "wishing". Name lists give Eshana as "desire" or "wish", which matches the dictionary. It is a soft name used by Hindu families across India, and it is sometimes shortened to Eshna.
