Vinamra meaning
Vinamra (विनम्र) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Bent down, stooping; submissive, humble, modest
Also used to mean: polite
Vinamra (विनम्र) is the Sanskrit vinamra, from vi-nam, "to bend, to bow down". Monier-Williams gives it as bent down or stooping, and from that as submissive, humble and modest, citing classical poetry and the Purāṇas. It shares its root with namas, "a bow", as in namaste. In Hindi vinamra is the everyday word for "polite, humble", and vinamratā is humility. Name lists give it as "humble" or "modest", matching the dictionary. It is used mostly for boys, and sometimes for girls.
