Deepashikha is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Deepashikha is a feminine Indian given name from Sanskrit dīpa (lamp, light) + śikhā (flame, crest), yielding the evocative sense “flame of a lamp” or “lamp’s glowing tip.” In Hindu symbolism, the lamp’s flame stands for knowledge, prosperity, and the dispelling of darkness; the compound appears in classical and vernacular poetry as a metaphor for fragile yet steadfast illumination and features in ritual contexts such as āratī.

As a personal name it circulates across North and East India and Nepal, common in Hindi and Bengali, with spellings Deepashikha, Dipashikha, Deepashika, and the leaner Dipshikha/Dipshika. Related forms include Deepa/Deepika (“light; little lamp”) and Shikha (“flame; crest”), which also serve as nicknames. Though never as ubiquitous as Deepa or Deepika, it found favor in the 20th century and remains appreciated for its auspicious, lyrical resonance and clear meaning.
