Shefali is Sanskrit in Origin.
Shefali is an Indic feminine name whose earliest recoverable form is Sanskrit śephālī, with the closely related śephālikā, written शेफाली and शेफालिका. The word is a botanical noun for the night-flowering jasmine, Nyctanthes arbor-tristis, known in many North Indian languages as a small, fragrant white-and-orange flower. Morphologically, śephālī is a feminine noun in long -ī, while śephālikā shows the common Sanskrit feminine ending -ikā; it is not a transparent compound.
In modern use Shefali belongs especially to Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, and Gujarati naming, with spellings such as Shephali reflecting older Sanskrit transliteration. Bengali shefali is also the everyday plant name, and the flower overlaps with the devotional parijat or harsingar associated with temple offerings; a specific Lakshmi association is devotional rather than etymological. The name appears among Indian women born in the late twentieth century and in diaspora records, but it remains uncommon in English-speaking countries.
