Bhavini meaning
Bhavini (भाविनी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, भा, it is a Dhanu rashi name (Mula nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
A noble or beautiful woman
Bhavini (भाविनी) is a Sanskrit word for "a noble or beautiful woman", used in the Mahabharata and classical poetry. Monier-Williams also lists it as a kind of musical composition and as the name of one of the Mothers who attend the war-god Skanda. The related adjective bhāvin means "becoming, about to be" and also "beautiful, illustrious". Baby-name lists give the name as "beautiful" or "noble", which matches the dictionary, and some add "emotional". The name is used in Gujarat and among Gujarati families abroad.
