Himaja

Himaja meaning

Himaja (हिमजा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.

Born of the Himalaya; a name of Pārvatī

Also used to mean: Parvati, daughter of the Himalaya

Himaja (हिमजा) joins Sanskrit hima, "snow", with -jā, "born of", so it means "born of the snowy mountains". Monier-Williams records hima-jā as a name of Pārvatī, the daughter of Himavat, lord of the Himalaya, and also of Śacī, the wife of Indra, as well as of a few plants. The masculine hima-ja is used of anything produced in the Himalaya, such as the mountain Maināka. Name lists give Himaja as "Parvati" or "daughter of the Himalaya", which matches the dictionary. The name is used in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

In Hindu tradition this is a name of Parvati.
