Pankhuri meaning
Pankhuri (पंखुड़ी) is a Hindu girl's name of Hindi origin.
A petal of a flower
Pankhuri (पंखुड़ी) is the everyday Hindi word for a flower petal. The Hindī Śabdasāgara lists pam̐khuṛī as "a petal of a flower", and Platts' older dictionary gives the forms paṅkhṛī and paṅkhrī with the same sense. Name lists agree that the name means "petal", so this is one of the few names whose popular and dictionary meanings match exactly. Pankhudi is a spelling closer to the Hindi pronunciation.
