What is the meaning of the name Andari ?

The baby name Andari is a Unisex name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ahn-DAH-ree (approx.), IPA: /ænˈdɑːri/.

Andari is Persian in Origin.

Andari is a cross-cultural given name and surname found in Indonesia, South Asia, and the Levant. In Indonesian contexts, especially with Javanese influence, it is used for girls and is often linked to andaru, a Javanese poetic term for a bright, auspicious star, yielding meanings such as “star,” “radiant,” or “bringer of good fortune.” In Arabic, Andari/Al‑Andari functions as a toponymic family name, interpreted as “from Andara/Andarin,” and occasionally transfers to use as a given name. A modern South Asian reading notes that in Telugu andari means “everyone’s,” suggesting an appealing sense of “universal” or “for all.”

Seen in 20th‑century Indonesian naming and among the Levantine diaspora as a surname, Andari today is rare but recognizable and may be used unisex outside Indonesia. Variants and related forms include Andary/El‑Andari, Andhari, Andara, Andaru, and the Arabic feminine Andariyya(h).
