Chaitali meaning
Chaitali (चैताली) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali and Marathi usage).
Of the month of Chaitra; the spring crop; a vernal breeze
Also used to mean: born in chaitra, spring-born
Chaitali (चैताली, Bengali চৈতালি) comes from Chaitra, the spring month of the Hindu calendar, which Monier-Williams describes as the month whose full moon falls in the star Chitra. The Samsad Bengali dictionary gives caitāli as the crop harvested in Chaitra, a spring breeze and the stirring of feeling in spring, and as an adjective "belonging to Chaitra". Baby-name lists give it as "born in Chaitra" or "spring-born". Rabindranath Tagore titled an 1896 book of poems Chaitali. The name is used in Bengal, Maharashtra and Gujarat.
