Poushali meaning
Poushali (पौषाली) is a Hindu girl's name of Bengali origin (from Sanskrit pauṣa).
Of the month of Paush (mid-December to mid-January)
Also used to mean: born in the month of Poush
Poushali (পৌষালি) is a Bengali word meaning "of the month of Paush". The Samsad Bengali-English Dictionary lists pauṣāli as relating to, grown in or performed in Paush, the ninth month of the Bengali calendar, which runs from mid-December to mid-January. On the last day of Paush, Bengali homes celebrate Poush Parbon with sweet cakes made from the new rice. As a girl's name Poushali is given to daughters born in this winter month, and baby-name lists explain it the same way.
