Sevvanthi meaning
Sevvanthi (செவ்வந்தி) is a Tamil girl's name.
The garden chrysanthemum
Sevvanthi (செவ்வந்தி) is the Tamil name of the garden chrysanthemum. The Tamil Lexicon of the University of Madras defines cevvanti as Chrysanthemum indicum and traces it to a Sanskrit flower name. The yellow and white sevvanthi is one of the commonest flowers in Tamil Nadu, strung into garlands, offered in temples and worn in the hair, so the name has an everyday warmth. It is a traditional girls' name, also spelt Sevanthi, and was the title of a 1994 Tamil film.
