What is the meaning of the name Sapna ?

The baby name Sapna is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SAHP-nah.

Sapna is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Sapna is a modern Indo-Aryan feminine name from Hindi सपना sapnā, the ordinary noun for a dream. Its older source is Sanskrit स्वप्न svapna, attested in Vedic and classical Sanskrit with the senses sleep, dream, or a dream-state. The Sanskrit form contains the root √svap, to sleep, plus the nominal suffix -na; in Hindi the initial cluster sv- was simplified and the final vowel lengthened in the masculine noun sapnā.

As a given name, Sapna is used chiefly among Hindi-speaking, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, and diaspora Indian families, with Swapna/Svapna preserving a more Sanskritized spelling. Bengali has the cognate Swapna, often written স্বপ্না for the feminine name. Indian cinema and television have helped keep the name visible, including actresses Sapna Pabbi and Sapna Sappu. In the United States it appears mainly in South Asian communities, with SSA records showing small counts from the 1980s onward rather than broad national use.
