Alpa, of Sanskrit origin, translates to 'wave' or 'surge'. This monophonic name is often used within Indian communities but has gained global recognition due to its unique sound and meaning. It consists of three letters: 'A', 'l', and 'p', with the latter two pronounced as a single sound. The name Alpa evokes images of fluidity, motion, and energy, much like its namesake in nature.
The name Alpa saw its peak popularity in 1977 with 12 births that year.
