Sanchari meaning
Sanchari (संचारी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Moving, wandering, roaming (feminine of saṃcārin)
Also used to mean: traveller
Sanchari (संचारी) comes from Sanskrit saṃcārin, which Monier-Williams glosses as going about, going hither and thither, roaming, wandering, and moving in a place. In Sanskrit poetics a sañcārī bhāva is a passing emotion that supports the main mood of a work, and in Indian music the sañcārī is the third section of a dhrupad composition, a term familiar from Rabindrasangeet. Name lists give "traveller" or "moving", which match the dictionary sense. As a girls' name it is chiefly Bengali, written সঞ্চারী.
