Sinjini meaning
Sinjini (शिंजिनी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali usage).
Tinkling anklet rings; a bowstring
Also used to mean: anklet bells
Sinjini (शिंजिनी) is the Sanskrit word śiñjinī, also written siñjinī, from the verb śiñj, "to tinkle, to jingle". Monier-Williams gives it as "tinkling rings worn round the toes or feet" and also "a bowstring", the twanging string of a bow. Name lists give "anklet" or "the sound of anklet bells", which matches. The name is chiefly Bengali, where it is written শিঞ্জিনী and spelled Sinjini or Shinjini in English.
