Dharmi meaning
Dharmi (धर्मी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Gujarati usage).
Faithful to duty, virtuous, pious, just
Dharmi (धर्मी, Gujarati ધર્મી) comes from Sanskrit dharmin, an adjective built on dharma, duty or right conduct. Monier-Williams gives its senses as knowing or obeying the law, faithful to duty, virtuous, pious and just, and also lists Dharmin as the name of the fourteenth Vyāsa and of a king. In Hindi and Gujarati, dharmī simply means religious or devout, and name lists give the same "religious, virtuous" meaning. As a given name it is used mainly for girls in Gujarati families, and it shares its root with older names such as Dharmishtha.
