Futuristic Girls' Name?

Writers' Corner
1

I’ve deviated away from novels for a bit to give my brain a break, so I’m starting a [name_m]Doctor[/name_m] Who fanfiction. Trying to avoid fanfiction cliches, here’s the synopsis:

The year is 3682. The planet of Zhuleikhet (may change that, just kept the name from my last draft), colonized by humans a thousand years previous, has been ravaged by war and lays in dusty, dystopian ruin. Half the population is starving and homeless and the other half were soldiers or prisoners; traumatized and with the means to live given to them only because of their trade or government benefits. The unnamed main character is the daughter of a soldier. Her planet is a desert, so she has dark skin, dark hair, and dark eyes and dresses in the manner that will protect her from the heat and wind.

I’m looking for something Sanskrit-sounding, slightly futuristic, and not long. Three syllables, max (So Abhyavarshini and Bhaktidayini are out). [name_f]One[/name_f] hitch: I don’t like names that end in E. A and I are ideal, and U is good if it goes with the last name, Demir.

Thanks in advance.

[name_f]Naya[/name_f] - means wisdom in Hindi, a [name_f]Maya[/name_f] alternative although [name_f]Jaya[/name_f] is also Hindi
