Meaning: The great purifier; Forgiveness; Purity

Paavani is a girl’s name of Indian and Sanskrit origin. A sweet little spin on the name Pavani, this gorgeous moniker means “forgiveness” and “purity.” Paavani is also inspired by the Hindu goddess Ganga, or “the great purifier,” who’s given endless gratitude for her mercy on humankind. Some may say to let bygones be bygones, but maybe only those named Paavani understand what it truly means to forgive and forget.
