In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Shivali (शिवाली) is a modern girls' name built on the name of Śiva, from Sanskrit śiva, "auspicious, kind", which Monier-Williams gives as the name of the god. The full form is not found in Monier-Williams or Apte. Name lists give "beloved of Shiva" or "belonging to Shiva", and explain the ending as āli, "dear one", but we could not confirm that this is how the name was formed, so we treat the meaning as popular rather than sourced. The name is used mainly in Maharashtra and Gujarat, and Shivani and Shaivi are related names.
