Asmi meaning
Asmi (अस्मि) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
"I am", the first person of the verb "to be"
Also used to mean: existence, self-respect
Asmi (अस्मि) is a Sanskrit verb used as a name. Monier-Williams lists asmi as "I am", the first-person form of the root as, "to be". It is best known from ahaṃ brahmāsmi, "I am Brahman", one of the great sayings of the Upaniṣads. As a name it stands for a quiet sense of self and being. Name lists give "I am" or "existence", and sometimes "self-respect", a sense that belongs to the related noun asmitā (the name Asmita). Asmi is a short modern name chosen by Indian families in India and abroad.
