Arpita is a devotional and self-offering Jain baby girl name meaning dedicated, offered, surrendered, and one who has given herself completely to a higher purpose. In Sanskrit, Arpita comes from the verb Arpan meaning to offer or to dedicate, describing the act of giving something completely — holding nothing back — to the divine or to a noble cause. In the Jain tradition, this quality of complete self-giving and dedication is central to the path of liberation: the Jain monk or nun takes the vow of aparigraha — non-possessiveness — which is ultimately the complete giving up of all attachment to self and possessions. A girl named Arpita carries the quality of this dedicated offering within her name: she is someone who gives herself completely to the things and the people she cares for, who holds nothing back in her devotion, and who approaches life with the spirit of generous, wholehearted dedication that the Jain tradition holds as the highest ideal of spiritual living.
