Lipika meaning
Lipika (लिपिका) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Writing; a written paper
Also used to mean: writer, letter, script
Lipika (लिपिका) is the Sanskrit lipikā, which Monier-Williams gives as writing or a written paper. It comes from lipi, "script, letters", and the masculine form lipika means a scribe or clerk, which is why some name lists give Lipika as "writer". Others give letter or script, both close to the dictionary; softer glosses such as "imagination" are not found there. The name is used in Bengal and Odisha. Rabindranath Tagore used Lipika as the title of a 1922 collection of short prose pieces.
