Vaijayanti meaning
Vaijayanti (वैजयन्ती) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
A flag or banner; a garland foretelling victory; Vishnu's necklace
Also used to mean: vishnu's garland
Vaijayanti (वैजयन्ती) comes from Sanskrit vaijayantī, related to vaijayanta, the banner of Indra. Monier-Williams gives it as a flag or banner, a garland that foretells victory, and the necklace or garland worn by Vishnu. In Krishna and Vishnu devotion the vaijayantī-mālā, a long garland of forest flowers, is one of the god's familiar ornaments. Name lists explain Vaijayanti as "victory" or "Vishnu's garland", which fits the dictionary. In South India the name is usually spelled Vyjayanthi.
