Ipsa meaning
Ipsa (ईप्सा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, ई, it is a Vrishabh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
A wish to obtain, desire; a request
Ipsa (ईप्सा) is the Sanskrit īpsā, formed from īps, the desiderative of the root āp, "to reach, to obtain", so it literally means "wanting to obtain". Monier-Williams gives it as asking for something and the wish to obtain it, citing the Mahābhārata and the Rāmāyaṇa. Name lists give Ipsa as "desire" or "wish", which matches the dictionary. It is used mainly in Odisha and Bengal, often alongside its longer relative Ipsita, "desired".
