Sagarika meaning
Sagarika (सागरिका) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, सा, it is a Kumbh rashi name (Shatabhisha nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
A woman's name in the play Ratnāvalī; from sāgara, 'ocean'
Also used to mean: born of the ocean, wave
Sagarika (सागरिका) is formed from Sanskrit sāgara, "the ocean", with a feminine ending, so it means a girl of or from the sea. Monier-Williams records Sāgarikā as the name of a woman in Ratnāvalī, the Sanskrit comedy attributed to the emperor Harsha (7th century). In that play the princess Ratnāvalī of Siṃhala survives a shipwreck and is given the name Sāgarikā, "ocean-lady", while she hides her true identity at King Udayana's court, where she and the king fall in love. Name lists give Sagarika as "born of the ocean" or "wave". The name is used in Bengal and Odisha.
