Ghandi is Indian in Origin.

Ghandi is a modern given name drawn from the Indian surname Gandhi, most associated with Gujarati speakers. It traces to Sanskrit gandha, “fragrance, scent,” yielding Gujarati Gandhī, an occupational term for a perfumer or seller of spices and aromatics within merchant communities. The standard transliteration is Gandhi; Ghandi appears as a less common variant, alongside Gandi and Ghandy in some records.

As a personal name it has sporadic, late-20th-century adoption across the Indian diaspora and internationally, largely in homage to Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and the ideals of nonviolence and civic conscience linked to his legacy. It is used chiefly for boys but can be unisex. Usual pronunciations are GAN-dee or GAHN-dee, depending on language. Core meanings evoke “perfumer; one connected with fragrance,” which many parents extend metaphorically to notions of purity, gentleness, and moral clarity.
