Vaishnavi

Meaning of Vaishnavi

The name Vaishnavi is a beautiful and meaningful choice for a baby girl, rooted deeply in Indian culture and Hindu mythology. Pronounced as vaysh-NAH-vee (/veɪʃˈnɑvi/), Vaishnavi is derived from the Sanskrit word "Vaishnava," which refers to a devotee of Lord Vishnu, one of the principal deities in Hinduism. The name signifies purity, devotion, and grace. It has been used consistently over the years in the United States, though it remains relatively unique with its highest rank being 2957 in 2008. The variations in spelling include Vaisnavi, but both forms retain the same cultural significance and pronunciation. Choosing Vaishnavi for your daughter not only honors rich traditions but also gives her a distinctive name that carries a sense of spirituality and strength.
