Swetapadma meaning
Swetapadma (श्वेतपद्मा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Odia usage).
A white lotus
Swetapadma (ଶ୍ୱେତପଦ୍ମା, Sanskrit श्वेतपद्मा) is the Sanskrit śveta-padma, which Monier-Williams lists simply as "a white lotus". Śveta means white or bright and is the word behind the name Shweta, while padma is the lotus, a flower that runs through Indian poetry, art and names such as Padmini. In the dictionary the compound is a neuter noun; as a girl's name it takes the feminine ending -ā. Odia families usually write it Swetapadma, or as two words, Sweta Padma, since Odia pronounces the opening śv as sw. It is a gentle, image-rich name that reads easily in Odia, Hindi and English.
