Ipsita meaning
Ipsita (ईप्सिता) 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.
Wished for, desired; as a noun, a wish
Also used to mean: cherished
Ipsita (ईप्सिता) is the feminine of Sanskrit īpsita, from īps, "to wish to obtain", the desiderative of āp, "to reach, to obtain". Monier-Williams gives it as wished for or desired, and as a noun, a wish, citing the Mahābhārata, the Rāmāyaṇa, Kālidāsa's Raghuvaṃśa and the Kathāsaritsāgara. Name lists give Ipsita as "desired" or "cherished", which matches the dictionary. It is used in Bengal and Odisha, where it is often spelt Ipshita.
