Taruni meaning
Taruni (तरुणी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
A young woman or girl
Also used to mean: youthful
Taruni (तरुणी) is the feminine of Sanskrit taruṇa, "young, tender, fresh". Monier-Williams notes that taruṇa is used of anything new or just begun, including the sun just after it has risen, and gives taruṇī as "a young woman or girl". The masculine gives the boys' name Tarun. Name lists explain Taruni as "young woman" or "youthful", which matches the dictionary. The word is still in use in Hindi, Marathi and other Indian languages, so the name is easily understood across the country.
