What is the meaning of the name Mahimaa ?

The baby name Mahimaa is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced muh-HEE-maa (IPA: /məˈhiːmaː/).

Mahimaa is Sanskrit in Origin.

Mahimaa is a feminine Indian name from Sanskrit mahimā (महिमा), meaning “greatness, glory, majesty, divine splendor.” The term is frequent in Vedic and classical Sanskrit and in bhakti poetry praising a deity’s mahimā (glory). It also names one of the aṣṭa-siddhis, mahimā-siddhi - the power to become vast - reinforcing associations of expansiveness and eminence.

As a given name, it rose to wider use in the 20th century across Hindi-, Bengali-, Marathi-, Odia-, and Nepali-speaking communities, and among the Indian diaspora, reflecting a modern preference for virtue-based Sanskrit names. Standard variants include Mahima and the diacritic form Mahimā; Mahimaa preserves the long final vowel in transliteration. Related short forms include Mahi and Hima. Though primarily feminine, the root appears in the masculine name Mahim. The overall tone is auspicious and devotional, evoking divine grandeur without being tied to a single deity.
