Niraimathi meaning

Niraimathi (நிறைமதி) is a Tamil girl's name.

The full moon; also complete wisdom

Niraimathi (நிறைமதி) joins niṟai, "full", with mati, a word that in Tamil means both the moon and intelligence. The Tamil Lexicon gives two entries: the full moon, and complete wisdom. Parents usually choose it for the first sense, and name lists give "full moon". The same image opens Andal's Tiruppāvai, whose first verse greets the Margazhi day when the moon is full. Mathi, the shorter name on the same root, carries both meanings too.
