What is the meaning of the name Sarbani ?

The baby name Sarbani is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced sahr-BAH-nee (IPA: /sərˈbɑːni/).

Sarbani is in Origin.

Sarbani is a feminine given name of Indo‑Aryan origin, deriving from Sanskrit sarva “all, entire, universal” with the feminine suffix ‑āṇī. In classical usage the parallel form Śarvāṇī denotes “the consort of Sarva (Śiva),” hence an epithet of Parvati/Durga, and by extension “the universal one” or “she who belongs to all.” Eastern Indo‑Aryan sound shifts that merge v and b in Bengali yield the common regional form Sarbani, alongside Sharbani.

The name is well established in Bengali- and Assamese-speaking communities, resonating with Shakta traditions and Durga Puja culture, and it appears across modern India and the diaspora from the 20th century onward. Variants and spellings include Sarvani, Sharvani, Sharbani, Sarbanee, and Sharbanee; all reflect the same Sanskrit root. Note that it is distinct from Shravani/Srabani, which relates to the lunar month Śrāvaṇa. Meanings typically cited: “universal,” “belonging to all,” and “goddess Durga/Parvati.”
