Seemantini meaning
Seemantini (सीमन्तिनी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, सी, it is a Kumbh rashi name (Shatabhisha nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
A woman (literally 'one whose hair is parted')
Seemantini (सीमन्तिनी) is the Sanskrit word sīmantinī, which Monier-Williams glosses simply as "a woman", noting its use in the Mahābhārata and classical poetry. It comes from sīmanta, the parting of the hair, the line in which married women traditionally wear vermilion; the same word names sīmantonnayana, the hair-parting rite performed during pregnancy. Name lists give "woman", matching the dictionary. The name is used mainly in Maharashtra, Bengal and Karnataka, and Seemanthini is the usual southern spelling.
