Poovizhi meaning
Poovizhi (பூவிழி) is a Tamil girl's name.
Pū (flower) joined with viḻi (eye): one with flower-like eyes
Poovizhi (பூவிழி) joins pū, "flower", with viḻi, "eye". The Tamil Lexicon gives pū as a flower or blossom, and especially the lotus, and viḻi as the eye. Together they describe eyes as lovely as flowers, the same image as in Malarvizhi, where malar is the more literary word for flower. Name lists translate Poovizhi as "one whose eyes resemble flowers". It is a short, pure Tamil name for girls.
