Shashikala (given name)

Shashikala is a given name, most commonly used for females. It is of Indian origin, derived from Sanskrit. The name combines two elements: "Shashi" which means "moon" and "Kala" which translates to "phase," "part," or "art." Therefore, Shashikala can be interpreted to mean "phase of the moon," "art of the moon," or "part of the moon." It is considered a traditional and auspicious name within Hindu culture.
