In the dictionaries
The name isn't in the classical dictionaries we use, so it is most likely a modern name. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Yashika (यशिका) is a modern name that we could not find in the Sanskrit dictionaries. It is generally understood as a girls' name built on yash, Sanskrit yaśas, which Monier-Williams gives as beauty or splendour of appearance, honour, glory, fame and renown, and also favour or kindness. Name lists give "success" and "fame"; the second matches yaśas well, while "success" is a looser modern reading. The ending -ikā is a common feminine suffix, but no word yaśikā is recorded, so the name is best read as a modern formation on a well-attested root. It is the feminine counterpart of the boys' name Yash.
