Madhusmita meaning
Madhusmita (मधुस्मिता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Odia and Bengali usage).
Sweet smile (madhu, "sweet" + smita, "smile")
Also used to mean: sweet-smiling
Madhusmita (मधुस्मिता) joins Sanskrit madhu, which Monier-Williams gives as sweet, pleasant and charming, and smita, "smiling", or as a noun a smile or gentle laugh, a word found in the Mahabharata and classical poetry. Smita can also describe a flower that has opened. Together the parts give "sweet smile" or "one who smiles sweetly", which is how name lists explain the name. Madhusmita is used mainly in Odisha and Bengal, and it sits naturally beside the single names Smita and Madhu.
