Avani (अवनि) is a Sanskrit name meaning "earth" or "the earth." In Hindu thought, the earth is personified as a mother goddess (Bhumi or Avani), the bearer and giver of all life.
Avani is rising rapidly as a girl's name in India and across the South Asian diaspora. Three soft syllables and a meaning as wide as the planet.
Avani reduces to six — the number of motherly earth.
