Baisakhi is Punjabi in Origin.

Baisakhi is an Indian feminine name derived from Punjabi/Hindi Baisākhī, from Sanskrit Vaiśākhī “belonging to Vaiśākha,” the spring month of the lunisolar calendar (named for the Viśākhā asterism). It refers to the harvest and new year festival observed on the first day of that month, especially in Punjab.

As a given name it sees modern use across North India and the diaspora, often chosen for April births or to invoke renewal, abundance, and community. Variants include Vaisakhi, Vaishakhi, and Visakhi; regional forms are Boishakhi/Boishakh (Bengali) and Baisakh/Vaisakh (the month, sometimes masculine). Related forms are Vaishakha/Vaisakha. In Sikh tradition Baisakhi also commemorates the founding of the Khalsa in 1699, lending connotations of courage and devotion. Overall sense: “Baisakh festival,” “of the month of Vaiśākha,” symbolizing new beginnings and prosperity.
