Shivanni is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Shivanni is a contemporary variant of Shivani, from Sanskrit Śivānī. Built on śiva, "auspicious, benevolent," with the feminine suffix -ānī, it signifies "belonging to Shiva," often interpreted as "wife of Shiva," a title of the goddess Parvati/Durga. The name therefore carries connotations of grace, protection, and auspiciousness, linking it to Shaivite devotion while remaining broadly accessible across Indian traditions.

Usage is widespread in modern India and the South Asian diaspora, with steady popularity from the later 20th century onward. Visibility rose in part through the celebrated Hindi author who wrote under the pen name Shivani (Gaura Pant, 1923-2003), as well as film and television figures. Common variants and spellings include Shivani (standard), Shivanee, Shiwani, Shevani, and Shivanie; related names are Shivangi and Shivanya. Nicknames include Shivi and Shiv. The double-n form Shivanni is a stylistic or numerological respelling.
