Meaning and background
The story behind Akasha
Akasha represents Sanskrit ākāśa, a word for open space or the sky. In classical Indian philosophical contexts it also appears as “ether”, one of the traditional elements, although the details vary between schools. Those meanings are recorded in Sanskrit dictionaries; claims that Akasha has a single mystical personal-name meaning need more care.
