Jalpa meaning
Jalpa (जल्पा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Gujarati usage).
Talk, speech, discourse; a kind of debate
Also used to mean: discussion
Jalpa (जल्पा) comes from Sanskrit jalpa, built on the verb jalp, "to speak". Monier-Williams gives the word as talk, speech and discourse; in Indian logic it is also a technical name for one kind of debate, and in the plural it can mean chatter. Name lists give it as "talk" or "discussion", which matches the dictionary. Some sites connect it with jal, "water", but that is only a sound-alike. The name is used mostly in Gujarati families.
