Origin: Sanskrit

Meaning: Amiable; Beloved

From Sanskrit origins to Hollywood today, the name Priyanka has come a long way. Meaning “amiable” and “beloved,” this name is perfect for the baby girl who’s about to warm your heart. She’s sure to be loved by you from the moment she enters the world, and with a name as sweet as this, Priyanka is bound to share her amity with the world. Although actress Priyanka Chopra’s star has risen to fame over the last decade, it seems her name hasn’t quite followed the same path. That being said, giving baby a lesser-used name can not only connect her to her heritage but can help Priyanka stand out from her peers in the best possible way.
