Abhirami meaning
Abhirami (अभिरामी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Tamil and Malayalam usage). By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Charming, delightful, pleasing, lovely
Abhirami (अभिरामी) is formed from the Sanskrit adjective abhirāma, which Monier-Williams gives as charming, delightful, pleasing, agreeable and lovely; in the masculine the same word is listed as a name of Shiva. As a girls' name it is best known through the goddess Abhirami of the Amritaghateswarar-Abirami temple at Thirukkadaiyur in Tamil Nadu, praised in the Tamil hymn Abhirami Anthadhi by the poet-devotee Abhirami Bhattar. The name is used mainly in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, where it is often spelt Abirami, following Tamil pronunciation.
