Urmila is Sanskrit in Origin.
Urmila is the usual modern spelling of Sanskrit Ūrmilā, written ऊर्मिला in Devanagari. The root language is Sanskrit, and the earliest secure form is the epic name Ūrmilā in the Rāmāyaṇa tradition. It is built on ūrmi, wave or billow, with the adjectival suffix -la/-lā, giving the literal sense wave-filled, wavy, or having billows.
In the Rāmāyaṇa, Urmila is the daughter of Janaka of Mithila, sister of Sita, and wife of Lakshmana; later retellings sometimes expand her role during Rama and Lakshmana’s exile. The name has remained chiefly Hindu and Indian, appearing in Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Telugu, Tamil, and other language communities. Roman spellings include Urmila, Ūrmilā, Oormila, and Urmilla. In the United States it is rare in SSA baby-name records, with visibility tied mostly to South Asian families and to public figures such as actress Urmila Matondkar.
