What is the meaning of the name Deepaali ?

The baby name Deepaali is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /diːˈpɑːli/ (DEE-PAH-lee).

Deepaali is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Deepaali is a feminine given name from Sanskrit dīpāvalī (dīpa ‘lamp, light’ + āvali ‘row, series’), source of the festival name Deepavali/Diwali. It denotes “row of lamps,” hence “festive lights” and, by extension, illumination, joy, and auspiciousness.

As a personal name, it gained currency across much of India in the 20th century, often chosen around the autumn festival; it is current in Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Nepali, and in South Asian diasporas. Common spellings: Deepali, Dipali, Dipaali; rarer Dipalee; related names include Deepa/Diya (“lamp”), Deepika (“little lamp”), and the masculine Deepak. Nicknames include Deepa and Dips. The doubled “aa” in Deepaali reflects the long vowel ā in Sanskrit-based transliterations. The name carries wishes for enlightenment, prosperity, and the dispelling of darkness.
