Tarulata meaning
Tarulata (तरुलता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali and Odia usage).
A creeper on a tree (taru 'tree' + latā 'creeper')
Also used to mean: vine
Tarulata (तरुलता) joins two Sanskrit words: taru, "a tree", and latā, which Monier-Williams gives as "a creeper, any creeping or winding plant or twining tendril". Together they picture a flowering vine wound around a tree. Latā alone is a common ending in older girls' names such as Hemlata, Swarnalata and Lata. Name lists give Tarulata as "creeper" or "vine", which fits the parts. The name is best known in Bengal and Odisha, where it is often said Torulota.
