Lipsa meaning
Lipsa (लिप्सा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Odia usage).
Desire to gain, wish to obtain, longing
Lipsa (लिप्सा) is the Sanskrit lipsā, formed from the desiderative of labh, "to obtain". Monier-Williams defines it as a desire to gain, a wish to acquire or a longing for something, and records it in the Mahabharata and classical poetry. Name lists give it as desire or wish, which matches the dictionary. In Hindi the word lipsā is used for a strong craving, but as a given name it is chosen for its gentle sound and the sense of a heartfelt wish. Lipsa is used as a girls' name mainly in Odisha.
