Manjari meaning
Manjari (मंजरी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
A cluster of blossoms; a bud or sprig; holy basil (tulsi)
Also used to mean: flower bud, tulsi flowers
Manjari (मंजरी) is the Sanskrit mañjarī, which Monier-Williams defines as a cluster of blossoms, a flower or bud, and a shoot or sprig, as in the Mahabharata and classical poetry; it can also mean a row or line, a pearl, and the name of several plants, among them holy basil, tulasī. In everyday Hindi and Marathi the word is used for the flower spikes of tulsi and the blossom of the mango tree, both important in worship. Name lists give blossom or flower bud, matching the dictionary. Manjiri is the Marathi form of the name.
