Eshna

Eshna is a feminine given name used in South Asia and among Indian diaspora communities. The name is found across various linguistic and religious communities in the region, though its exact origins are not uniformly agreed upon.

The etymology of Eshna is not fixed. In some interpretations, it is connected to Sanskrit roots associated with concepts such as desire or sovereign power, and it is sometimes regarded as a variant of Ishana, a term with multiple meanings including “lord” and “northeast direction” in Hindu tradition. Because of regional and linguistic variation, there is no single universally accepted meaning for the name.

Across the Indian subcontinent and the diaspora, Eshna is used as a given name for girls. It appears in personal naming practices among families seeking Sanskritic or culturally resonant names, and its usage can vary by region and community.

There are no widely documented public figures whose given name is Eshna. Instances of the name exist in local or regional contexts but have not been associated with globally recognized individuals.

Variant spellings include Ishna and Eshana, and some sources treat the form as a variant of Ishana. The name’s recognition and interpretation can differ depending on cultural and linguistic context.
