Swagata meaning
Swagata (स्वागता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali and Odia usage).
Welcome; one who is welcomed
Swagata (स्वागता) is the feminine of Sanskrit svāgata, from su-, "well", and āgata, "come". Monier-Williams gives it as "well come, welcome" and, as a noun, "welcome, greeting, salutation", as in svāgataṃ te, "welcome to you"; svāgatā is also the name of a Sanskrit metre. Name lists read Swagata as "welcome" or "one who is welcomed", which matches. It is chiefly a Bengali and Odia girl's name, written স্বাগতা in Bengali; Swagat is the boy's form.
