Sinchana meaning
Sinchana (सिंचना) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Kannada usage).
Sprinkling, watering
Also used to mean: sprinkle, continuous flow
Sinchana (सिंचना) comes from Sanskrit siñcana, which Monier-Williams gives as "sprinkling, watering", from the verb sic, "to pour out, to sprinkle". The same root gives Hindi sīñcnā, "to irrigate, to water", and the word for irrigation, siñcāī. Name lists give "sprinkle" or "a continuous flow", which matches the idea of gentle watering that makes things grow. The name is used mainly in Karnataka, where it is written ಸಿಂಚನಾ.
