The meaning

A name that means "earnest wish, purpose (sanskrit + foundational)".

Iha comes from īhā (wish, striving, purpose), naming the will to reach toward something. It is small, clear and quietly determined.

It suggests intention — a life aimed rather than adrift.

Earnest purpose — the will to reach toward a hope.
