Vibhavari meaning
Vibhavari (विभावरी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Bright, brilliant (of the dawn); the starlit night
Also used to mean: starry night, radiant night
Vibhavari (विभावरी) is Sanskrit vibhāvarī, from vi-bhā, "to shine forth". Monier-Williams gives it first as brilliant or bright, an epithet of Ushas, the Dawn, in the Rigveda, and then as the starry night, the sense it has in classical poetry. Name lists explain Vibhavari as "starry night" or "radiant night", which fits the dictionary. The dictionary also lists turmeric and some unflattering senses such as a talkative woman, which are not what the name intends. The name is used mostly in Maharashtra.
