Jigisha meaning
Jigisha (जिगीषा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Gujarati usage).
Desire to win or conquer; ambition; eminence
Jigisha (जिगीषा, Gujarati જિગીષા) is a Sanskrit word built on the verb ji, "to win, to conquer", in its form meaning "to wish to win". Monier-Williams gives jigīṣā as the desire to obtain something and the wish to conquer or prevail, citing the Rigveda, the Mahābhārata and Kālidāsa's Raghuvaṃśa, and, from older lexicons, eminence. Name lists give the same meaning, a desire for victory, so the popular and dictionary senses agree. The name is used mainly for girls in Gujarati families.
