Nepali girl names by ending, from -ika to -ala

The last sound of a name often shapes how it feels. A name ending in -ya can sound graceful, while one ending in -ti often names a quality such as peace or fame. This page gathers 839 Nepali girl names, grouped by the sound they end with, and explains what each ending usually means.

  1. Graceful -ya names

    Sandhya means twilight, Divya means divine, Priya means beloved and Kavya means poetry. The -ya ending keeps a name light on the tongue.

  2. Qualities in -ti

    Shanti means peace, Kirti means fame, Jyoti means light and Smriti means memory. Many -ti names are Sanskrit abstract nouns.

  3. The feminine -ika

    Deepika, Radhika, Ambika and Bhumika all end in the Sanskrit feminine ending -ika, a warm and familiar close.

Girl names ending with ita and ana

Sarita (सरिता) means river or stream, Kabita means poem, and Sunita means well-behaved or of good conduct. Susmita means a lovely smile, while Asmita means self-respect, pride and identity. Srijana means creation, and Sapana means dream. Each ending has its own flavour, and our page on girl names ending in ita shows how varied one ending can be.

Girl names ending with ya, ti and ja

Sandhya (सन्ध्या) means twilight and the evening prayer time, and Shreya means auspicious or excellent. Names ending in -ti often describe a quality: Jyoti means light, Prakriti means nature, and Shristi means creation. The -ja ending means born of, as in Girija, born of the mountain, while Pooja means worship and shares the sound. Browse girl names ending in ya and girl names ending in ti to compare.

Tips for parents

  • Say the ending on its own first, then the full name, to hear which sound you prefer.
  • Check the meaning of the whole name rather than the ending alone.
  • Compare endings that look alike, such as -ita and -ika, because they can feel quite different.
  • Write the name in Devanagari and in English to see whether you like both forms.
