Vidya is a feminine name that means “correct knowledge” and “scholarship” in Sanskrit.

One of the moniker’s most notable bearers is Vidya Balan, an Indian actress credited for having pioneered a change in the portrayal of Hindi cinema with her female-centric roles. Whether you’d like your little one to shine on the silver screen or gain complete mastery of a subject, Vidya is the correct choice!
