Haimanti meaning
Haimanti (हैमन्ती) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali usage).
Wintry, of the early-winter season (feminine of haimanta)
Also used to mean: of early winter
Haimanti (हैमन्ती) is the feminine of Sanskrit haimanta, which Monier-Williams gives as wintry, belonging to or growing in the winter. It comes from hemanta, the season of early winter, one of the six seasons of the Indian year. The name is used mainly in Bengal, often pronounced Hoimonti, and Rabindranath Tagore gave it to the heroine of his short story Haimanti. Name lists give "of early winter", which matches the dictionary.
