What Does the Name Vihaa Mean?
Vihaa is a feminine given name from India, used mainly by Hindi-speaking families. It is generally treated as the feminine counterpart of the masculine name Vihaan and, like it, is usually explained as "dawn" or "morning," the first light of day. That sense is tied to the Hindi word vihān (विहान), meaning "dawn" or "morning." A separate explanation connects the shorter form Viha to the Sanskrit element viha-, which appears in words for the sky and for birds, as in vihaga, literally "sky-goer," giving the sense "heaven" or "sky." Which of these is the direct source of the modern name is not firmly established.
