Lakshana meaning
Lakshana (लक्षणा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Aim, object; indication; name of an Apsaras
Also used to mean: sign, characteristic, good qualities
Lakshana (लक्षणा) is the feminine form of Sanskrit lakṣaṇa, a mark, sign or characteristic, and also a lucky mark or good quality. Monier-Williams records lakṣaṇā itself as an aim or object, as the figurative sense of a word in Sanskrit poetics, as a goose, and as the name of an Apsaras, a celestial dancer, in the Mahabharata and the Harivamsha. Name lists today give Lakshana as sign, characteristic or good qualities, all of which come straight from lakṣaṇa. The name is used across India.
