Kavisha meaning
Kavisha (कविशा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (modern).
(from kavi + īśā) mistress of poets
Also used to mean: queen of poets, wise poet
Kavisha (कविशा) is a modern name built from two Sanskrit words. Kavi, in Monier-Williams, means wise or enlightened, and as a noun a sage, seer, singer or poet; īśa means a lord or master, and the feminine īśā means power or dominion. Put together, kavi + īśā gives "mistress of poets", and the name works as a feminine of Kavish. Name lists give "queen of poets" or "wise poet", in line with these parts. The compound itself is not an old dictionary word.
