Utpala meaning
Utpala (उत्पला) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, उ, it is a Vrishabh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
The blue lotus or water-lily; any flower
Utpala (उत्पला) takes its meaning from Sanskrit utpala, which Monier-Williams gives as "the blossom of the blue lotus", "any water-lily" and, more loosely, "any flower". The feminine utpalā also appears in the dictionary as the name of a river. Name lists give Utpala as "lotus" or "blue lotus", which matches the dictionary; the girls' name is used in Bengal and Odisha. It is the feminine of the boys' name Utpal.
