Utkarsha meaning
Utkarsha (उत्कर्षा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Marathi usage). By its first sound, उ, it is a Vrishabh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Elevation, prosperity; excellence, eminence
Utkarsha (उत्कर्षा) is the feminine of the boys' name Utkarsh, from Sanskrit utkarṣa, built on ut-kṛṣ, "to draw upwards". Monier-Williams gives the adjective as "superior, eminent" and the noun as "elevation, increase, rising to something better, prosperity" and "excellence, eminence"; the old texts can also use it for boasting, though that sense is rare in names. In Hindi and Marathi utkarṣa is the everyday word for progress and flourishing. Name lists give Utkarsha as "excellence" or "prosperity", which matches the dictionary. The name is especially used in Maharashtra.
