Diya

Diya means Lamp; light.

Diya is a name given to girls, used in Hindu families. It comes from Sanskrit.

In the namkaran tradition the first syllable of a name is often chosen to suit the rashi, the moon sign at birth. Diya begins with a syllable traditionally used for Karka (Cancer) and Meena (Pisces).

It is one of the names Indian parents are choosing most often right now.
