In South Asia, naming a daughter can incorporate a blend of local languages and religious roots—Urdu, Hindi, Bengali, or Tamil. Elegant picks like Zara or Kavya might show cross-cultural openness and literary appeal. These names highlight the region’s reverence for strong female figures, from mythical warriors to revered saints. A South Asian baby girl name ties tradition to modern life with both resonance and grace.
