Phalguna is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Phalguna is a Sanskrit name (Phālguna, फल्गुन), literally “of Phalguna,” the twelfth month of the Hindu lunar calendar (roughly Feb–Mar) and the root of the lunar mansions Purva Phalguni and Uttara Phalguni. As a given name it conveys “born in the month of Phalguna” or “one belonging to the Phalguni star,” and carries seasonal overtones of spring, ripening, and festivity (Holi falls in Phalguna).
In classical literature, Phālguna is an epithet of the hero Arjuna, said to be born under the Uttara Phalguni asterism. The name appears across India and Nepal in Sanskritic and regional forms. Variants include Falgun and Phalgun (Hindi, Gujarati), Phalguni/Falguni (often feminine, especially in Bengali and Hindi), and Phalgunan or Phalgunan (South Indian masculine). Alternative spellings reflect transliteration: Phalguna, Phālguna, Falguna. While traditionally masculine, Phalguna is sometimes used as a unisex name in modern usage.
