Hello, I am of South Asian heritage. I like Hindu/Buddhist names with Indian/Sanskrit origins and is still universal/international.

I really like names ending with "ya", "li" and "ra", such as Navya or Anara.

Any ideas/suggestions are welcome :)

Thank you in advance

Dear all, I like some of your suggestions. Please keep them coming.

One name I really like is Dhyana. But I'm worried about folks thinking it is Diana.

It's pronounced as in this video:
