What is the meaning of the name Manasi ?

The baby name Manasi is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced muh-NAH-see (IPA: /məˈnɑːsi/).

Manasi is Sanskrit in Origin.

Manasi is an Indian feminine name from Sanskrit mānasī, feminine adjective from manas “mind, heart, thought,” meaning “of the mind,” “guided by intellect,” or “mind-born.” In classical usage it can also suggest imagination and inward devotion, reflecting Indian philosophical linkage of mind and heart.

As a given name, it appears across modern South Asia, especially in Hindi- and Marathi-speaking communities, and is recognized in Bengali, Kannada, and Gujarati contexts. Literary resonance comes from Sanskrit and vernacular poetry and bhakti songs where mānasi denotes the inner mind, which has helped sustain the name’s appeal. Common variants and spellings include Mansi (the most widespread modern form), Mānasī (diacritic transliteration), Maanasi, and Manashi in some eastern usage; creative spellings like Mansee occur in English. Related but distinct are Manasa (the snake-goddess) and Manasvi/Manasvee, which share the manas root.
