gandi is Gujarati, Indian in Origin.

Gandi is a modern given name rooted in the Indian surname Gandhi (Gujarati/Hindi), ultimately from Sanskrit gandha, “scent, fragrance.” The surname denoted an occupational perfumer or spice merchant, especially in western India, and its aspirated consonant is sometimes dropped in non-Indic transliteration, yielding Gandi. As a given name, it conveys the appealing sense of “fragrant; one who works with perfumes,” and carries cultural resonance through its Indian origins.

Usage as a personal name rose in the late 20th century, appearing sporadically in India, Indonesia, and parts of Africa and the diaspora, often chosen to honor the Gandhi name or for its gentle meaning. Variant spellings include Gandhi (standard), Gandi (streamlined), and Ghandi (frequent but nonstandard); related surnominal forms include Gandhy. Nicknames may be Gan or Andy. Similar-looking Gandy is English and etymologically unrelated. The name sees unisex use but skews masculine.
