Madhuvanti meaning
Madhuvanti (मधुवंती) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Name of an evening raga; built on madhu 'sweetness'
Also used to mean: sweet like honey
Madhuvanti (मधुवंती) is the name of a Hindustani raga, an evening melody of the Todi family associated with romantic feeling. The name is built on Sanskrit madhu, which Monier-Williams gives as sweet and delightful as well as honey, with an ending that reads as "possessing", so it suggests "full of sweetness". The raga is relatively recent, and its name does not appear in the classical dictionaries. Baby-name lists explain Madhuvanti as "sweet like honey".
