Torsha is Bengali, Sanskrit in Origin.
Torsha is a modern Bengali feminine given name whose root is toponymic: it takes its identity from the Torsa/Torsha River that flows from Bhutan into North Bengal and Bangladesh. The river’s name appears in varied spellings - Torsha, Torsa, Toorsa - depending on Bengali, Assamese, and English transliteration, and these function as given-name variants as well. Some speakers also use the short form Torshi. Though the hydronym’s deeper etymology is Himalayan (via Dzongkha/Tibeto-Burman), in personal naming Torsha is treated as Bengali.
In use since the late 20th century, Torsha is favored in Bengal for girls, its sense anchored in river imagery: flow, vitality, and auspicious continuity. The name is rare outside eastern India and Bangladesh but recognizable through regional arts and media. Do not confuse it with Sanskrit-derived Tosha “contentment” or Trisha/Trishna “desire,” which are distinct in origin and meaning.
