Pahi meaning
Pahi (पाहि) is a Hindu girl's name of Assamese origin. By its first sound, पा, it is a Kanya rashi name (Uttara Phalguni nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
The smaller petals of a flower
Pahi (पाहि) is a short Assamese girls' name meaning a petal. The Candrakanta Assamese dictionary defines pāhi as the smaller petals of a flower, and the same word is used for the spokes of the traditional Assamese spinning frame, a reminder of the region's weaving culture. A different pāhi, from Sanskrit pāśa, means the meshes of a net, but the flower sense is the one used for the name. Name lists give Pahi as "petal", in line with the dictionary. It is simple to say and spell, and is used mainly in Assam.
