Harshika meaning
Harshika (हर्षिका) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
From harṣa, "joy, delight", with the feminine ending -ikā
Also used to mean: joyful, full of happiness
Harshika (हर्षिका) is a modern name formed from Sanskrit harṣa, joy and delight in Monier-Williams, with -ikā, a common ending for girls' names. Read this way it means "joyful" or "one who brings joy", the meaning name lists give. The exact form harṣikā is not in the dictionary. Monier-Williams does list a similar word, harṣīkā, but only as the name of a metre in a Vedic phonetic treatise, so it is not the source of the name. Harshika belongs to the same family as Harsh, Harshita and Harshini.
