Ujala meaning
Ujala (उजाला) is a Hindu girl's name of Hindi origin. By its first sound, उ, it is a Vrishabh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Light, daylight, daybreak; brightness, radiance
Ujala (उजाला) is the everyday Hindi and Urdu word ujālā, "light". Platts's dictionary gives it as light, daylight and daybreak, sunshine, and also splendour, brightness and glory; as an adjective it means bright, clear and shining. Phrases such as ujāle kā tārā, "the morning star", show the word's link with dawn. It comes from the same family as Sanskrit ujjvala, "luminous", which gives the name Ujjwala. Name lists give Ujala as "light" or "brightness", which matches the dictionary.
