Prashanti meaning
Prashanti (प्रशांति) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Rest, tranquillity, calm, especially of the mind
Also used to mean: peace, highest peace
Prashanti (प्रशांति) is śānti, "peace", intensified by the prefix pra-. Monier-Williams gives praśānti as sinking to rest, rest and tranquillity, especially of the mind, calm and quiet, and also the pacifying or abating of something, such as a fire or a quarrel. Name lists give "peace", "serenity" or "highest peace", which match the dictionary. Prasanthi and Prashanthi are the spellings used in South India.
