Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Varnika: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2025.

Varnika is a feminine name of Sanskrit origin, derived from "Varnika" meaning "paint" or "colour," symbolising artistry and expression. While not widely known in Scotland, it has gained some modern usage due to multicultural influences. A notable contemporary bearer is Varnika Kundu, an Indian environmental activist and writer known for her work on sustainability. The name shares its root with "varna," meaning colour or caste in ancient Indian texts, though no direct place connections arise. As a variant, Varnica is sometimes used interchangeably. For parents drawn to meaningful, creative names with a lyrical quality, Varnika offers a distinct choice that bridges cultural heritage and individuality, reflecting the growing diversity of Scottish baby names in recent decades.
