Vasundhara meaning
Vasundhara (वसुंधरा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
The earth; land, a kingdom; literally 'bearer of treasure'
Also used to mean: bearer of treasures
Vasundhara (वसुंधरा) is Sanskrit vasuṃdharā, made of vasu, "wealth, treasure", and dhara, "holding, bearing". Monier-Williams gives it as the earth, a country or kingdom, and the soil, and as the name of a goddess in Buddhist texts; the masculine adjective means "containing treasure". The earth is called this because it holds all wealth. Name lists give "earth", matching the dictionary. In Buddhist art the earth goddess Vasundharā is shown wringing water from her hair.
