Deepika (दीपिका) is from the Sanskrit dīpa (lamp, light) — "little light" or "lantern." Deepika Padukone (born 1986) — Indian actress and one of the highest-paid actresses globally; daughter of badminton legend Prakash Padukone. Made her acting debut in Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om (2007); has starred in over 30 films across Hindi cinema. Padma Shri (2024).
Deepika does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Deepika reduce to 6, The Nurturer. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
