What is the meaning of the name Amrapalli ?

The baby name Amrapalli is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced /əmrəˈpɑːli/ (uhm-ruh-PAH-lee).

Amrapalli is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Amrapalli is a feminine name from the Indian subcontinent, rooted in Sanskrit amra "mango" and often linked to pallava "new leaf/shoot," yielding the sense "mango blossom" or "fresh mango leaves." In Pali/Prakrit the parallel form Ambapali appears, sometimes read through pala "protector," giving an alternate nuance of "keeper of the mango grove." The double-l spelling reflects regional transliteration, especially in South Indian contexts, while the name remains pan-Indian.

The name is tied to the famed Ambapali of Vaishali, a celebrated courtesan who became a patron of the Buddha and donated her mango grove; her story in the Pali Canon and later literature secured its cultural cachet. The name resurfaced in modern times via novels, the 1966 film Amrapali, and even the Amrapali mango cultivar, sustaining usage across North and East India and the diaspora. Variants include Amrapali (common), Ambapali, Amrapalli, and Amra Pali; diminutives: Amra, Pali.
