What is the meaning of the name Indrani ?

The baby name Indrani is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced in-DRAH-nee (IPA: /ɪnˈdrɑːni/).

Indrani is Sanskrit in Origin.

Indrani is a feminine given name from Sanskrit Indrāṇī (इन्द्राणी), literally “consort of Indra,” formed from Indra + the feminine suffix -āṇī used for wives of deities (cf. Rudrāṇī). In Vedic and Purāṇic literature, Indrāṇī - also called Śacī or Aindrī - is the queen of the gods, associated with majesty, protection, and beauty. The name thus conveys “queenly,” “Indra’s beloved,” or “queen of the gods.”

As a personal name, Indrani appears across South Asia - especially among Hindi- and Bengali-speakers - and in the Indian diaspora. Usage rose with Sanskritic revival movements and remains familiar through classical dance, music, and mythology. Variants and spellings include Indrāṇī (diacritic form), Indrani, Indranee (Anglicized/Mauritian–Singaporean), and Aindri in liturgical contexts; related mythic by-names are Śacī and Shachi. Diminutives like Rani or Indi occur in modern settings. The name balances traditional religious resonance with an elegant, cosmopolitan sound.
