In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Manali (मनाली) is a girls' name used mainly in Maharashtra and Gujarat. We could not find manālī as a common word in the Sanskrit or Hindi dictionaries, and the meanings given online disagree: "bird" appears most often, alongside "small beautiful valley" and "holy place". None of these could be traced to a dictionary, so we give "bird" only as a popular meaning. The name also brings to mind Manali, the hill town in the Kullu valley of Himachal Pradesh. It is short, easy to say, and spelt the same way in most Indian scripts.
