Pankhuri is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.
Pankhuri is a feminine name taken from Hindi पंखुड़ी, transliterated paṅkhuṛī, the common noun for a flower petal and the earliest recoverable form of the name. It is New Indo-Aryan rather than a classical Sanskrit personal name. The base is Hindi पंख paṅkh, wing or feather, ultimately from Sanskrit पक्ष pakṣa, wing, side, feather; the ending -ुड़ी/-uṛī is a small or feminine noun-forming element. Its literal sense is petal, a small feather-like part of a blossom.
As a personal name, Pankhuri is chiefly North Indian and Hindu, reflecting a modern preference for transparent Hindi vocabulary names over inherited epic or devotional names. It appears in Devanagari as पंखुड़ी or, less standardly, पंखुरी; Roman spellings vary because ड़ी may be rendered as ri, di, or ṛī. Pankhudi, Pankhurī, and Pankhuree are practical variants. Usage is contemporary and most legible in Hindi-speaking families, helped by Indian television and urban baby-name lists.
