Thanks in advance,

Mukesh

You can refer to any Standard Dictionary for the purpose available online:

http://www.sanskrit-lexicon.uni-koeln.de/monier/

or Apte's Pasctical Dictionary:

http://dsal.uchicago.edu/dictionaries/apte/

if you know how to look a word in the Dictionary. Flatly a question
like this I want Sanskrit origin doesn't mean anything, without the
context from where you found the word.

The word ईप्सित is commonly met in several places, as, for example, in the following:

अभीप्सितार्थसिद्ध्यर्थं पूजितो य: सुरैरपि।

सर्वविघ्नच्छिदे तस्मै गणाधिपतये नम:॥

Its derivation is is not very difficult to work out.

From ākṣ meaning eye; it is the ppp - past passive participle so ā goes to long ī - regarded; many words such as parīkṣa examination, etc.

"पुरा येनेक्षिता जानकी" has only passive past participle in feminine gender from

ईक्ष् īkṣ [ IkS ] 

cl. 1. Ā. ī'kṣate, īkṣāṃ-cakre ( Pāṇ. i, 3, 63 ), īkṣiṣyate, aikṣiṣṭa, īkṣitum, to see, look, view , behold, look at, gaze at

to watch over ( with acc. or rarely loc. ), AV. AitBr. ŚBr. Mn. Kathās. etc.

to see in one's mind, think, have a thought, ŚBr. ChUp. MBh. Bhag. etc.

to regard, consider, Kum.

to observe ( the stars etc. ), VarBṛS.

to foretell for ( dat.; lit. to observe the stars for any one ) Pāṇ. i, 4, 39 : Caus. īkṣayati, to make one look at ( with acc. ), ĀśvGṛ. ( This root is perhaps connected with akṣi, q.v. )

​http://www.sanskrita.org/wiki/index.php/IkS

in other cases, it can be from the same root it can be active present participle in masculine singular nominative:

ईक्षिता

वि० [ईक्षितृ] देखनेवाला [को०] ।

īkṣitṛ [ IkSitR ]

mfn. seeing, beholding, a beholder, Mn. Prab. etc.

So without context it cannot be explained any way. If he had asked, either of the forms ईक्षित or ईक्षितृ it would have been clearly be derived from the same root to get the desired meaning.

The same with ईप्सिता ---

from the same desiderative verb ईप्स् 

irrespective of Sanskrit to English or Kannada or any language to which it is to be translated:

( Desid. of √ āp, q.v. ), to wish to obtain.

nominative singular in masculine from ईप्सितृ (pr.p) or from in feminine from ईप्सित (past participle)

Thanks all for Reply.

I am sorry i realized i should have mentioned the context. Actually we are searching for a name for our baby Girl. We always wanted a baby Girl and i guess "Ipsita" means desired(Ipsa is desire i learnt) so that is one name we have finalized. I just wanted to confirm if this word really means this.

About "Ikshita" i just loved the phonetics of it and since it's similar to Ipsita, while searching over net this also came across us. But i am not sure about the meaning of this. It is probably synonym of Isht as in Isht Dev. 

Need help. 

Thanks.

As said here sevral times in the past, I do not think that this Forum's purpose is to dispense advice on appropriate baby-names for the fond parents!

There are sevral websites that do this far better than this Forum.

So it is not any real query for meaning, but love for his baby name only as I had guessed. He loved some baby name seeming to him Sanskrit he got from his baby name search and posted for asking about derivation of it.

And now, even if the derivation is given, it is difficult, if needs help to get the meaning he wanted to have  and sticks to it: 

 It is probably synonym of Isht as in Isht Dev. 

OK. Please go through my reply once again for the word you have requested. Anyhow I agree with Arvind, this forum is not to be misused as a baby name inventing site.

I had already prepared this on seeing Arvindji's reply, I thought of posting it.
