Kamalini meaning
Kamalini (कमलिनी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
A lotus plant; a pool full of lotuses
Also used to mean: a pond of lotuses
Kamalini (कमलिनी) is formed from Sanskrit kamala, "lotus". Monier-Williams gives kamalinī as the lotus plant, a cluster of lotuses, and a pool or place filled with lotuses, a picture found in the Mahabharata and in Kalidasa's Raghuvaṃśa. Name lists give "lotus" or "a pond of lotuses", matching the dictionary. It belongs to the same family as Kamala, a name of Lakshmi, and Kamal. In Hindi it is often spelt and said Kamlini.
