Sandipta is a Sanskrit-derived given name, most common for girls in eastern South Asia. It comes from samdipta/samdīptā, the feminine form of samdipta, built from the prefix sam- “thoroughly, together” and dīpta “shining, blazing,” hence “fully kindled, radiant, ardent.” As an adjective, samdipta appears across classical Sanskrit texts to describe fire, light, zeal, and splendor; as a personal name it gained currency in the 20th century amid Sanskritic revival and is especially familiar in Bengali, Assamese, and Odia communities, with occasional unisex use.

Spellings and related forms include Sandipta and Samdipta (modern transliterations), Saṃdīptā (IAST), and the masculine Saṃdīpta. Cognate or thematically linked names built on the dīp- “light” root include Sandeep/Sandip (male), Deepti/Dipti/Deepthi (female), and Dipta (unisex). Nicknames may be Sandi, Dipta, or Dipu. The name carries connotations of brilliance, inspiration, and a warmly luminous personality.
