Mohona meaning
Mohona (मोहना) is a Hindu girl's name of Bengali origin. By its first sound, मो, it is a Simha rashi name (Purva Phalguni nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
The mouth of a river, an estuary; a channel
Also used to mean: opening of a river, one who captivates
Mohona (मोहना) is a Bengali girls' name taken from the everyday word mohanā or mohānā, which the Samsad Bengali dictionary defines as the mouth of a river, an estuary, or the channel by which water flows out of a pond. In the delta country of Bengal, where great rivers meet the sea, it is an evocative word. Some name lists instead link Mohona with Sanskrit Mohana or Mohini, "enchanting", because of the similar sound, but the Bengali dictionary meaning is the river mouth. It is pronounced with two short o sounds: "MO-ho-naa".
