Himali meaning
Himali (हिमाली) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
From hima, "snow, frost"
Also used to mean: snowy, of the Himalaya
Himali (हिमाली) is a modern girls' name built on Sanskrit hima, which Monier-Williams gives as snow, frost and the cold season, the same word that begins Himālaya, "abode of snow". The exact form himālī is not in the dictionaries, so the name is best read through its root. Name lists give Himali as "snowy" or "of the Himalaya", which follows the root. It is used in Gujarat and Maharashtra and also in Nepal. Himani and Hima come from the same word.
