Manasa First Name Meaning

The name Manasa is of Indian origin and is primarily given to females. Its meaning, "Intelligence," reflects the qualities associated with the Hindu goddess Manasa, who is worshipped for protection from snakebites, fertility, and prosperity. In Hindu mythology, she is esteemed as the sister of Shesha and Vasuki, king of Nāgas (serpents), and the wife of sage Jaratkaru. Despite facing rejection and hardships, Manasa displays kindness to her devotees but is harsh towards those who refuse to worship her. Over time, she has been recognized as a Hindu goddess and is depicted as a beautiful woman adorned with snakes. Worship of Manasa is widespread in South Bengal, Assam, Tripura, and other parts of India, with numerous temples dedicated to her. She is ceremonially worshipped on Nag Panchami, and her blessings are sought for protection from snakebites and infectious diseases.
