Lalitya

Lalitya meaning

Lalitya (लालित्य) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, ला, it is a Mesh rashi name (Ashwini nakshatra) in the North Indian table.

Grace, beauty, charm

Lalitya (लालित्य) is Sanskrit lālitya, an abstract noun formed from lalita, 'lovely, graceful, playful'. Monier-Williams gives grace, beauty and charm, and also amorous or languid gestures, citing inscriptions and the Sāhityadarpaṇa, a classic work on poetics. The word belongs to the vocabulary of art and poetry, where grace of style and movement is a quality to be prized. Name lists give 'beauty' or 'grace', both faithful to the dictionary. The name is usually spelled Lalitya or Laalitya in English, the double a showing the long first vowel, and it sits naturally beside the older name Lalita, which comes from the same root.
