The baby name Shibani is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced shi-BAH-nee.
Shibani is Bengali, Odia, Sanskrit in Origin.
Shibani is an eastern Indian spelling of Sanskrit Śivānī, a feminine formation built on Śiva, the name and older adjective for the Hindu god Shiva. In Sanskrit, śiva has the literal sense auspicious, gracious, or benign; the long -ānī ending marks a feminine possessive or relational form. Śivānī therefore denotes one belonging to Shiva and, in devotional usage, a name of his consort, Parvati.
The Shibani spelling reflects Bengali and related eastern Indo-Aryan pronunciation, where Sanskrit v is often realized or romanized as b, while Shivani is common in Hindi and pan-Indian English use. The name is most at home in Hindu naming, especially in Bengali, Odia, and diaspora communities, and it appears beside variants such as Sivani and Shivanee. In the United States it has remained rare in birth records, with visibility tied chiefly to Indian immigration rather than a broad naming trend.
