What is the meaning of the name Juhi ?

The baby name Juhi is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced JOO-hee (IPA: /ˈdʒuːhi/).

Juhi is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Juhi (Hindi जूही; Urdu جوہی) is a feminine Indian given name meaning “jasmine,” specifically the fragrant juhi blossom (Jasminum auriculatum). The word descends from Sanskrit yūthikā, passing through Prakrit to modern Indo‑Aryan languages; parallel forms appear across North India, where the flower symbolizes purity, tenderness, and auspicious love. Commonly pronounced JOO-hee, the name carries a soft, floral aura while remaining distinctly South Asian.

Documented as a poetic flower term in Hindi-Urdu and Braj/Bhojpuri songs, juhi garlands feature in classical and Bhakti imagery, which helped make the word feel name-like. As a given name, Juhi rose in urban India in the late 20th century, boosted by actress Juhi Chawla’s fame. Variants include Juhee and the regional Jui (Marathi/Bengali), with affectionate forms like Juhiya; related analogues are Jasmine and Yasmin. Usage today remains steady across India and the diaspora, often chosen for its delicate meaning and pan-Indian familiarity.
