Jhumki is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.
Derived from the Hindi-Urdu jhumki, a bell-shaped earring (related to jhumka) and the onomatopoeic root jhum meaning a tinkling sway, this feminine name evokes grace, sparkle, and music. It fits a South Asian pattern of names inspired by beloved ornaments and sounds.
Used mainly as an affectionate pet name (daak naam) in North India and Bengal, Jhumki has been formalized as a given name since the mid-20th century, aided by film music, notably the 1966 hit Jhumka Gira Re. Variants include Jhumkee and Jhumky; related forms are Jhumka (rarer as a personal name) and the rustic diminutive Jhumkiya. Spelled the same in Urdu and Nepali, and as Jhumki or Jhumkee in Bengali and Assamese. The meaning centers on a little bell earring, suggesting a tinkling sound, playfulness, and ornamented beauty.
