Flute
In the dictionaries
The name isn't in the classical dictionaries we use, so it is most likely a modern name. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Sanika (सानिका) is a modern girls' name used mainly in Maharashtra. It does not appear in the Sanskrit dictionaries of Monier-Williams or Apte, and we could not find a source for the meaning most name lists give, "flute"; a few sites suggest "warrior" instead, also without evidence. We therefore treat Sanika as a modern name valued for its gentle sound, with the meaning "flute" as the one families most often attach to it. It is spelled Sanika or Saanika in English.
