Manimozhi meaning
Manimozhi (மணிமொழி) is a Tamil girl's name.
Maṇi (gem) joined with moḻi (word, speech): words like gems
Manimozhi (மணிமொழி) joins maṇi, "gem", with moḻi, "word" or "speech". The Tamil Lexicon defines maṇi as a precious stone of any kind and moḻi as a word, a saying, or language and speech, so the name praises speech that is as precious as jewels. It belongs to a family of girls' names ending in -mozhi, such as Kanimozhi, Thenmozhi and Arulmozhi. The honorific form Manimozhiyar was borne by the Tamil scholar and politician Kanchi Manimozhiyar.
