ArchivesRe: Meaning
in reply to a message by Swarnadeepta
According to _Hindu Nanes_ by Maneka Gandhi, "svarna" means "golden" and "dipta" means "illuminated" or "brilliant."
Though Svarnadipta does not occur in the book, there are several other compound names with Svarna at the start, such as Svarnadama, Svarnalata, and Svarnamala. So it seems probable that "Swarnadeepta" is an alternate spelling in the "Western" alphabet of "Svarnadipta", which would mean something like "golden brilliance."
