What is the meaning of the name Gulabi ?

Gulabi is Persian in Origin.

Gulabi is a feminine given name in South Asia meaning “rosy,” “pink,” or “rose‑colored.” It derives from Hindi–Urdu gulābī, formed on Persian gulāb “rosewater” (gul “rose/flower” + āb “water”) with the adjectival suffix ‑ī; in Indo‑Aryan usage, gulāb also came to mean “rose,” so gulābī denotes the color and the qualities of freshness, beauty, and auspiciousness associated with the flower.

The name has been used across North India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh, especially among Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Rajasthani, and Marathi speakers. It appears in folk song and popular culture and occurs in rural and urban registers from the late 19th to the 20th century, with occasional contemporary use. Variants and related forms include Gulābi/Gulabee (transliterations), the affectionate Gulabo, and cognates from the same root such as Gulab (m.), Gulzar, Gulshan, and Gulnar. Informal English equivalents include Rosy and Pinky.
