Gulaabi is Hindi, Urdu in Origin.
Gulaabi is a South Asian feminine name meaning "rosy" or "pink," taken from Hindi-Urdu gulābī, the adjectival form of gulāb "rose; rosewater." Gulāb itself descends from Persian gol "flower" + āb "water," a compound introduced into Indo-Aryan languages through long contact. The doubled a in Gulaabi mirrors the long vowel ā. The word and name are recognizable across Punjabi, Marathi, Bengali, Nepali, Kannada, Telugu, and other languages where gulabi/gulaabi simply denotes the color pink.
As a given name it has been used among both Hindu and Muslim families, most commonly for girls, with a gentle, affectionate register reinforced by popular poetry and film songs that celebrate gulabi ankhen ("rosy eyes") and gulabi subah ("rose-tinted dawns"). Variants include Gulabi, Gulābī, and Gulabee; related forms and nicknames are Gulabo (pet-name) and Gulab (masculine). The name conveys softness, beauty, freshness, and a warm, optimistic hue.
Gulaabi is about as rare as a name gets. In all, it appears just 2 times, across 1 country.
