What is the meaning of the name Sandali ?

The baby name Sandali is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced sun-DAH-lee.

Sandali is Hindi, Persian, Sanskrit, Urdu in Origin.

Sandali is an Indic feminine name tied to the word for sandalwood. Its remote source is Sanskrit candana (चन्दन), the classical noun for the fragrant heartwood of Santalum album, probably the earliest securely identifiable form behind the later sandal family of words. In Persian and Urdu, ṣandal or sandal took the adjectival ending , giving sandalī, literally sandalwood, sandal-colored, or of sandalwood.

As a given name, Sandali is encountered chiefly in South Asian naming contexts, including India and Sri Lanka, rather than in older Sanskrit personal-name lists. Its associations come from sandalwood’s ritual role in Hindu worship, cosmetics, medicine, and temple culture, where paste and fragrance are important. Related forms include Chandana and Chandan from the Sanskrit line, alongside Sandalee or Sandaly as modern spelling variants. Recent use appears uncommon outside diaspora records.

Sandali is a rare name. It doesn't appear in any of the major national birth registries we track; we found only 82 recorded uses across 21 countries. Expect very few children to share this name.
