Divya
Sanskrit, "divine, heavenly"
A zippy Sanskrit name, used predominantly in India, Divya can be interpreted as meaning “divine” and “celestial”, though it is additionally linked to light and illumination.
It is brought to you today by Nameberry User Amara, who shares what makes it so special:
I first heard this name because that’s what my little sister was almost named! Because of that, it carries a lot of personal significance to me because my sister is my favorite person in the world! I also really love the meaning (it was the first thing I was drawn to) and the fact that it is a Sanskrit name, because since I have grown up in America, most of my favorite names are English/European centred, and I cannot imagine actually naming a child them — even though I love them!
The name has a forest green and gold palette for me and brings to mind trees and temples. It’s a name that connects to my heritage with the bonus that I also really love the sound and meaning.
