Garudi is Hindu, Sanskrit in Origin.

Garudi is a Sanskrit-derived name formed from garuḍa, the mighty eagle and mythic mount of Vishnu; the feminine suffix -ī yields Garuḍī “of or like Garuda.” Connotations include eagle-like strength, swiftness, guardianship, and - through Garuda’s enmity to serpents - the power to neutralize venom and dangers.

In classical Sanskrit and later vernacular lore, garuḍī/garuḍika terms appear in protective charms and medical texts (Garuḍa-vidyā) against snakebite, and the word functions as an epithet for women associated with fearlessness or remedy craft. As a given name, Garudi remains uncommon but is intelligible across India and the broader Indic diaspora. Variants and transliterations include Garuḍī, Garoodi, and Garudee; related forms are the masculine Garuda/Garud and the elaborations Garudika and Garudini. The name’s layered meaning can be summarized as “eagle-like,” “belonging to Garuda,” or metaphorically, “serpent-subduing protector.”
