Samiksha is a modern Indian given name drawn from Sanskrit samīkṣā, built from the prefix sam- “thorough, together” and the root īkṣ “to see, consider.” It conveys meanings such as examination, analysis, critical review, reflection, and discernment. Pronounced sah-MEEK-shah, the name is used primarily for girls across Hindi- and Marathi-speaking communities and more broadly throughout India and the diaspora.

The underlying noun samīkṣā is well attested in classical Sanskrit literature and philosophical discourse as a term for careful inquiry and evaluation, lending the name an intellectual, reflective aura. As a personal name, it gained popularity in the late 20th century alongside other abstract, virtue-inflected choices. Common variants and spellings include Sameeksha (reflecting the long ī), Samiksha, and, less often, Samiksa; the scholarly transliteration is Samīkṣā.
