Divya

Divya is a female given name of Sanskrit origin. It derives from the adjective divya, meaning divine, heavenly, or sacred. The name conveys auspicious or luminous qualities and is widely used in India and among Indian communities abroad.

In Sanskrit, divya describes something divine or extraordinary, and as a given name it is used across Hindu and related traditions. It is common in many Indian languages and has been adopted by members of the global Indian diaspora.

Notable people with the name include Indian actresses Divya Bharti, Divya Dutta, and Divya Spandana (also known as Ramya), as well as Divya Khosla Kumar, who works as an actress, director, and producer. There is also Divya Kumar, an Indian playback singer.

The name is typically given to girls, though transliteration and cross-cultural usage can vary. It remains popular in India and among Indian communities in countries such as Fiji, Mauritius, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, and in the diaspora across the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States.
