Vilasini meaning
Vilasini (विलासिनी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Malayalam and Telugu usage).
A charming, lively or playful woman; also a metre and a woman's name
Also used to mean: radiant
Vilasini (विलासिनी) is the feminine of Sanskrit vilāsin, from vilāsa, "play, grace, charm". Monier-Williams gives vilāsinī as a charming or lively woman, and, in older poetry, also a wanton or coquettish one, as well as a metre and a woman's name. As a name it carries the lighter senses of grace and playfulness, which is how name lists explain it. It is a girls' name used in Kerala, and "Vilasini" was the pen name of the Malayalam novelist M. K. Menon.
