Jigyaasa is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.
Jigyaasa is an Indic feminine name from Sanskrit jijñāsā (जिज्ञासा), built on the root jñā “to know.” It means curiosity, the urge to learn, or inquiry. Pronounced jig-YAA-sa, it suggests intellect and openness; in Hindi and related languages the noun still means “question” or “seeking,” so the name reads as a virtue word. It is typically bestowed for children hoped to be thoughtful, questioning, and academically inclined.
The term figures prominently in classical philosophy: Mīmāṃsā opens with athāto dharma‑jijñāsā, and Vedānta with athāto brahma‑jijñāsā - now, therefore, the desire to know. As a given name it gained wider urban use in North India and Nepal late in the 20th century. Variants include Jigyasa, Jigyasha (Bengali/Assamese), Jignasa (Gujarati), Jigyasaa, and the scholarly Jijñāsā; a related masculine is Jignesh.
