In the dictionaries
The name isn't in the classical dictionaries we use, so it is most likely a modern name. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Udisha (उदिशा) is a modern Indian girls' name that we could not find in the Sanskrit dictionaries. Name lists explain it in two different ways: as "the first rays of the morning sun" or as "direction" or "the north". Neither meaning can be traced to a dictionary word. The name may have been shaped by familiar words such as udaya, "rising", and diśā, "direction", but that is a guess rather than a recorded etymology, so we treat Udisha as a modern name whose meaning rests with the family that chooses it.
