Arpanaa is a feminine given name of Indo-Aryan origin, from Sanskrit arpanā (अर्पणा), a noun from the verbal root arp-, "to offer, present, devote." It denotes "offering," "dedication," or "acts of giving," and in Hindu thought evokes selfless devotion in worship and service. As a personal name it gained currency across North and South India in the 20th century, appreciated for its virtue-meaning; it is also found in Nepal and among the South Asian diaspora. The final -aa reflects the long vowel ā in many modern transliterations and South Indian spellings.

Common variants include Arpana (most widespread), Arpanā (with diacritic), Arpanaa/Arpanna (orthographic variants), and the related forms Arpita/Arpitha ("offered, dedicated"); the masculine cognate is Arpan. Nicknames such as Arpi or Ana appear in multilingual families. Not to be confused with the Armenian names Arpi/Arpine, Arpanaa remains a culturally resonant choice expressing dedication, generosity, and purposeful intent.
