Sayantika meaning
Sayantika (सायन्तिका) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali usage). By its first sound, सा, it is a Kumbh rashi name (Shatabhisha nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Of the evening (a modern form from sāyantana 'relating to evening')
Also used to mean: belonging to the evening
Sayantika (सायन्तिका) is a Bengali girls' name built on Sanskrit sāyantana, which Monier-Williams glosses as relating to evening, vespertine, from sāyam, "in the evening". The ending -ikā makes a feminine name from it, alongside the older Sayantani and the boys' name Sayantan. The full form is not a dictionary headword, so we cite the root. Name lists give "belonging to the evening", which fits that derivation. The actress Sayantika Banerjee is a well-known bearer.
