Aditya Narayan and his wife have named their daughter Twisha. He was quoted as saying “Twisha is a Sanskrit word. It means ‘Rays Of Light’. My father’s name Udit, my name Aditya and now my daughter Twisha are all light-related. A lot of thought has gone into the naam-karan.”

This is almost correct. Sanskrit ‘tvisha’ (tviṣā, त्विषा) = “splendour, lustre, light”. It also means “she who shines, lustrous, brilliant”, which is the meaning when the word is used as a personal name. In the Hindu Purāṇas, Tviṣā is the daughter of Marīci and Sambhūti.

Overall, it is a beautiful and well-thought name. I congratulate the parents for choosing this #sunāma.
