Hima is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Hima is a feminine given name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced HEE-ma, meaning snow, frost, or coolness. It appears in classical compounds such as Himalaya (abode of snow) and Himavat (the personified Himalaya), lending the name associations of purity, serenity, and alpine beauty. Used across India and Nepal, Hima gained steady popularity in the 20th century and remains favored for its crisp sound and nature imagery.

Related and elaborated forms include Himani (snowy; an epithet of Parvati), Himadri (the Himalaya; unisex), Himanshi (part of snow), Himika (snow princess, modern), Himaja (born of the snowy one), and the masculine Himanshu (moon, literally cool-rayed). Diminutives such as Himi are common. Outside South Asia, Hima occasionally appears in Arabic-influenced contexts, where ḥimā refers to a protected reserve (distinct from himma, zeal), and is sometimes adopted as a modern given name.
