Yashaswini meaning
Yashaswini (यशस्विनी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Feminine of yaśasvin: splendid, illustrious, famous, celebrated
Also used to mean: successful, glorious
Yashaswini (यशस्विनी) is the feminine of Sanskrit yaśasvin, from yaśas, "fame, glory, splendour". Monier-Williams gives yaśasvin as beautiful, splendid, illustrious, famous and celebrated, and records Yaśasvinī as one of the divine Mothers who attend Skanda. The blessing yaśasvī bhava, "may you be famous", uses the same word. Name lists give "famous", "successful" or "glorious", which match the dictionary. The name is used in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
