Sun or day
Nyima is a traditional Tibetan name that translates directly to 'sun' or 'day'. In Tibetan culture, it is often given to children born on a Sunday, reflecting the celestial body associated with that day of the week. It carries a bright, vital significance and is used for both boys and girls, though it is increasingly seen as a feminine choice in Western contexts.
