Heli meaning
Heli (हेली) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Gujarati usage). By its first sound, हे, it is a Kark rashi name (Pushya nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
The sun (masculine heli); feminine heli, an embrace
Also used to mean: ray of light
Heli (हेली) is a Gujarati girls' name usually given as "sun". Monier-Williams records a Sanskrit word heli meaning the sun, used in astronomical works such as Varāhamihira's Bṛhatsaṃhitā and in the Purāṇas, and points to the Greek hēlios, a sign that the word came into Sanskrit with Greek astronomy. The same dictionary lists a feminine heli, a form of helā, for an embrace. Name lists give Heli as "sun" or "ray of light", which follows the first word. The name is short, easy to spell and used mainly in Gujarat.
