Vibha

Meaning of Vibha

Vibha (Hindi: VEE-bhah /ˈviː.bʰɑː/), a feminine appellation of Sanskrit provenance, derives from the root word vibhu, connoting luminosity and the diffusion of light, and features in classical texts as an epithet of splendour. Within the United States, its usage—though comparatively rare—has registered a modest persistence; in 2024 it ranked 922nd with twenty-eight newborns, having oscillated between 861st (1997) and 974th (2008) over the past quarter-century and attaining a peak of fifty-one occurrences in 2022. Such statistical contours reflect the dynamics of diasporic identity and the Anglo-American predilection for names that combine semantic depth with phonetic distinctiveness. The name’s austere elegance and historical resonance render it a fitting choice for those seeking a designation of measured gravitas amid contemporary naming conventions.
