Maharashtra, a state in western India, is known for its rich culture, delicious cuisine, and natural beauty. Marathi girl names symbolize the community’s values, traditions, and beliefs. These names are rooted in Sanskrit and other regional languages. The naming tradition of Maharastrians is a reflection of Hindu customs. Naming of a child is considered an important and thoughtful practice. Parents may consult elders in the family while choosing a name for their child. You may even seek help from a pandit (Hindu priest) or an astrologer who may help pick a meaningful name for your child. Pandits usually do this by referring to the child’s nakshatra (position of the stars at the time of birth) or horoscope. Every nakshatra is associated with a specific alphabet. Parents are guided to pick a name for their child corresponding to that letter. Parents believe that selecting a name according to the child’s nakshatra brings them good luck. They usually choose a name that carries a good meaning, stands for significant virtues, or is connected to cultural and mythological references. Marathi names may draw inspiration from natural elements as well. For instance, Tulsi referring to the ‘holy basil,’ is a popular Marathi name since the tulsi plant is considered sacred in Hindu culture. Jui, a flower found in Maharashtra, is also a popular baby girl name amongst the Maharashtrians. Maharastrians also value virtues and attributes and this is evident in names such as Sadhana, meaning ‘to accomplish a goal,’ and Bhavanjali, meaning ‘one who is full of emotions.’ Marathi girl names not only represent an individual but also the Maharashtrian community. These names are a means to preserve and carry forward values in the modern world. In this post, we have compiled a list of Marathi baby girl names with meanings. Read on and pick the best choice for your little princess.
