Vibha meaning
Vibha (विभा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Light, lustre, splendour, beauty
Also used to mean: radiance, brightness
Vibha (विभा) is Sanskrit vibhā, from the verb vi-bhā, "to shine forth, to gleam, to be radiant". Monier-Williams gives the noun as light, lustre, splendour and beauty, and the adjective as shining or bright. Name lists explain Vibha as "radiance" or "brightness", which matches the dictionary. It is a short, easy name that has been used across India for several generations, and it shares its root with Vibhavari, a poetic word for the night.
