Tuhina meaning
Tuhina (तुहिना) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali usage).
Frost, mist, dew, snow; also moonlight
Tuhina (तुहिना) takes its meaning from Sanskrit tuhina, which Monier-Williams gives as "frost, cold, mist, dew, snow", with the older lexicons adding "moonlight" and "camphor". In Sanskrit poetry the word stands for cool, white things, and the Himalaya can be called tuhinagiri, "the snow mountain". The boys' names Tuhin and Tuhinanshu share the root. Name lists give Tuhina as "snow" or "frost", which matches the dictionary. The name is used mainly in Bengal, where Tuhin is the masculine form.
