Vamika is a Sanskrit name and one of the epithets of the Hindu goddess Durga; it is usually explained as "the beautiful one" or as the goddess seated at Shiva's left side, from vama, which means both "lovely" and "left". The name became widely known in 2021 when Indian cricketer Virat Kohli and actress Anushka Sharma gave it to their daughter. In the United States Vamika was almost unheard of before then; it rose from number 4825 in 2021 to number 1683 in 2025, its best rank yet.
