Mrinmayee meaning
Mrinmayee (मृण्मयी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Marathi and Bengali usage).
Made of earth or clay, earthen
Also used to mean: earthly
Mrinmayee (मृण्मयी) is the feminine of Sanskrit mṛnmaya, "made of earth or clay", built from mṛd, "earth, clay", and -maya, "made of". Monier-Williams records the word from the Rigveda onwards, for example for an earthen vessel. Name lists give made of earth or earthly, matching the dictionary. The name is often paired in thought with Chinmayee, "made of consciousness", and families choose it for its sense of a grounded, natural person. It is used mainly in Maharashtra, as Mrunmayi, and in Bengal, as Mrinmoyee, and is the girls' form of Mrinmoy.
