Meaning and history
Archana is an Indian feminine name from Sanskrit arcanā, meaning “worship,” “honouring,” or a ritual offering of praise. In Hindu practice, archana commonly refers to worship in which divine names are recited and offerings such as flowers are made. The name therefore has a direct religious and devotional association. Notable bearers include Indian actor and television presenter Archana Puran Singh and Indian film director Archana Joglekar. Regional scripts and pronunciation vary.
