Trishnaa is a feminine name of Sanskrit origin, from tṛṣṇā (तृष्णा), based on the root tṛṣ “to thirst.” It denotes “thirst, yearning, desire, longing”; in Indian philosophical texts it can signify passionate craving, while in poetry it evokes aspirational longing. The cognate in Pali is taṇhā, a core Buddhist term; South Asian modern languages (Hindi, Bengali, Nepali) retain trishna/trishnā with similar senses.

As a given name, Trishnaa gained currency across India and the South Asian diaspora in the late 20th century, favored for its lyrical sound and layered meaning. Spellings vary with transliteration: Trishnaa, Trishna, Trishnaa, and with diacritics Tṛṣṇā; related forms include Trishana and the shortened Trisha. Usage appears across Hindu, Jain, and secular contexts rather than tied to a specific community, balancing a cautionary philosophical nuance with a positive reading of ambition and heartfelt longing.
