What is the meaning of the name Falguni ?

The baby name Falguni is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced fal-GOO-nee (approx.); IPA: /fəlˈɡuːni/.

Falguni is Sanskrit in Origin.

Falguni derives from Sanskrit Phālguni, the adjectival form of Phālguna, name of a lunar month and of the paired nakshatras Purva and Uttara Phalguni. It means "belonging to Phalguna" or "born under Phalguna," evoking late-winter to early-spring and the Holi full moon. In epic literature, the related epithet Phālguna is borne by Arjuna, reflecting a traditional birth-star association.

As a given name, Falguni is widespread in India, especially in Gujarati and Hindi-speaking communities, where it is chiefly feminine; in Bengali and Assamese it is also used for boys, making it effectively unisex. Variants and transliterations include Phalguni, Falgun, and Phalgun. The modern f spelling mirrors the shift from classical aspirated ph. Contemporary visibility comes from figures such as singer Falguni Pathak.
