Vijaya meaning
Vijaya (विजया) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Victorious; a name of Durga; victory
Vijaya (विजया) is the feminine of Sanskrit vijaya, "victory, conquest, triumph", from vi-ji, "to conquer". Monier-Williams gives vijayā as a name of Durga and of several other goddesses, a lunar day connected with festivals, and Krishna's garland. The autumn festival of Vijayadashami, "the victorious tenth", celebrates Durga's victory over Mahishasura and Rama's over Ravana. Name lists give "victory" or "victorious", matching the dictionary. Vijaya is the feminine partner of Vijay and is used across India.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Durga.
