Manaswini meaning
Manaswini (मनस्विनी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
A virtuous wife; a name of Durga; the mother of the moon
Also used to mean: intelligent woman, high-minded
Manaswini (मनस्विनी) is the feminine of Sanskrit manasvin, "full of mind, intelligent, wise, high-spirited", from manas, "mind". Monier-Williams records manasvinī as a virtuous wife and as a name of Durgā. In the Mahabharata Manasvinī is the mother of the moon, and in the Puranas she is the wife of the sage Mṛkaṇḍu. Name lists give intelligent woman or high-minded, which follow the root. The name is the fuller feminine of Manasvi and is used across India, especially in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Odisha. Manasvini is an equally correct spelling.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Durga.
