Lochini is Gaelic, Sanskrit, Scottish in Origin.

Lochini derives from Sanskrit locana “eye, sight,” combined with the feminine suffix -inī, giving Locanī: “the bright‑eyed one” or “she who sees.” The name evokes clarity, keen perception, and the aesthetic beauty traditionally associated with expressive eyes.

Usage is rare but attested across South Asia and the diaspora, notably in Sri Lanka among Sinhala speakers and in Indian communities drawing on Sanskritic tradition. Devotional sources mention Locanā/Locanī as divine epithets - alongside related forms like Trilocanī - linking the name with auspicious vision and protection. Variants and related names include Lochani, Lochana/Locana (often unisex), and compounds such as Trilochana. Diminutives: Lochi.
