Origin: Sanskrit

Meaning: Night; Right-hand side

Yamini is a feminine name with Sanskrit and Arabic connections. One translation is “night,” and can be a great choice if your little one is more of a night owl than an early bird. The darkness of night can range from peaceful to spooky, from pitch black to glowing from the moon and stars. This can give your little one plenty of inspiration to discover their own aesthetic throughout their life. Yamini may also come from the Arabic name Yamin, meaning “right-hand side.” In Arabic culture, the right hand is considered clean and dominant and is the one reserved for eating meals and greeting friends. For a name that encourages baby to find their right-hand man or be the right-hand man for others, Yamini can make for a great choice.
