Pravallika meaning
Pravallika (प्रवल्लिका) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Telugu usage).
A riddle, an enigma
Pravallika (प्रवल्लिका) is a Telugu girl's name that matches Sanskrit pravahlikā or pravalhikā, "a riddle, an enigma". Monier-Williams records pravahlikā as a riddle, and gives pravalhikā as the name of hymn 133 of the twentieth book of the Atharvaveda. Baby-name lists offer several meanings, including "question" and "coral"; "question" is close to the dictionary sense, but we found no support for "coral". The name is used mainly in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and is pronounced pruh-VUL-li-kaa.
