Mrudani meaning
Mrudani (मृडानी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Marathi usage).
Wife of Mṛḍa (Shiva); a name of Parvati
Also used to mean: goddess parvati
Mrudani (मृडानी) is a name of the goddess Parvati. Monier-Williams gives Sanskrit mṛḍānī as the wife of Mṛḍa, that is Shiva, and as a name of Parvati, and the Puranas list it among her many names. It is formed from Mṛḍa, a name of Shiva, in the same way that Bhavani comes from Bhava and Rudrani from Rudra. Name lists give "Goddess Parvati", matching the dictionary. The -ru- spelling is the Marathi way of writing the Sanskrit vowel ṛ, and the name is used mainly in Maharashtra.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Parvati.
