Bijayini meaning
Bijayini (विजयिनी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Odia usage).
Victorious, triumphant (feminine of vijayin)
Bijayini (ବିଜୟିନୀ, Sanskrit विजयिनी) is the feminine form of vijayin, which Monier-Williams defines as victorious or triumphant; used as a noun, the masculine means a conqueror. The word grows from vijaya, "victory", the same root that gives the names Vijaya and Vijay. In Odia, Sanskrit v is usually written and spoken as b, so Vijayini becomes Bijayini, the spelling Odia families use. The name has a strong, clear meaning and sits comfortably in Odia, Hindi and English. A well-known bearer is the Odissi dancer and teacher Bijayini Satpathy, who has performed and taught Odissi far beyond India.
