Lipi meaning
Lipi (लिपि) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali usage).
Writing, letters, alphabet; anything written
Also used to mean: script
Lipi (लिपि) is the Sanskrit lipi, which Monier-Williams traces from smearing and painting to writing itself: letters, the alphabet, the art or manner of writing, and anything written, such as a manuscript, inscription or letter. The word is still the ordinary term for a script in Hindi, Bengali and other Indian languages, as in Devanagari lipi. Name lists give script, writing or letter, which matches the dictionary. As a given name Lipi is used mainly in Bengal and Odisha.
