Manorama meaning
Manorama (मनोरमा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Pleasing to the mind, charming, beautiful; a beautiful woman
Also used to mean: attractive
Manorama (मनोरमा) joins Sanskrit manas, "mind", and ram, "to delight": something that gratifies the mind. Monier-Williams gives attractive, pleasant, charming and beautiful, and for the feminine manoramā a beautiful woman, the name of an Apsaras in the Mahabharata, a Gandharvī, a river, and in the Markandeya Purana the wife of Svarocis. Name lists give beautiful or attractive, matching the dictionary. The name is used across India, including Kerala and Tamil Nadu. The Tamil actress Manorama, who appeared in over a thousand films, is its best-known bearer.
