Bhama as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Bhama

What is the meaning of the name Bhama ?

The baby name Bhama is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced BHAH-mah.

Bhama is Sanskrit in Origin.

Bhama represents Sanskrit Bhāmā, written भामा in Devanagari. The form belongs to the root bhā, to shine or appear bright, with a nominal/adjectival formation bhāma indicating light, brilliance, or splendor; the long final ā marks the feminine form. In classical Sanskrit usage, bhāmā can also denote a splendid or charming woman, so its literal sense is radiance rather than simply a mythological title.

Within Hindu naming, Bhama is often understood through Satyabhama, the assertive queen of Krishna in Purāṇic and later devotional narratives; her name combines satya, true, with bhāmā. The shorter Bhama appears mainly in Indian Hindu contexts and is less common than longer Krishna-associated names. Spellings such as Bhāmā, Bhaama, and Bhamaa reflect transliteration choices rather than separate origins.
