Titiksha meaning
Titiksha (तितिक्षा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Endurance, forbearance, patience
Also used to mean: tolerance
Titiksha (तितिक्षा) is the Sanskrit titikṣā, "endurance, forbearance, patience", a word used in the Mahābhārata and in Pāṇini's grammar. In Vedānta it means bearing pairs of opposites, such as heat and cold or pleasure and pain, with an even mind, and it is one of the six inner virtues that begin with śama, "calm". The Bhāgavata Purāṇa personifies Titikṣā as a daughter of Dakṣa, the wife of Dharma and the mother of Kṣema, "well-being". Name lists give Titiksha as "patience", "forbearance" or "tolerance", which matches the dictionary.
