What is the meaning of the name Soni ?

The baby name Soni is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SOH-nee.

Soni is Gujarati, Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Soni is a modern Indo-Aryan feminine name, chiefly associated with Hindi and Gujarati usage. Its immediate base is Hindi sonā, gold, with the feminine/adjectival ending -ī in the romanized form Sonī. The older lexical ancestor is Sanskrit suvarṇa, gold, literally good-colored or of fine color, formed from su-, good, and varṇa, color, appearance. Through Middle Indo-Aryan sound change, this gold word yielded forms such as sona in later North Indian languages.

In India, Soni also functions as a surname, especially among goldsmith communities in western and northern regions, so its use as a given name overlaps with occupational and auspicious vocabulary. Related feminine names include Sona, Sonal, and Sonali, all drawing on the same gold imagery rather than a fixed classical personal name. In U.S. Social Security data it appears rarely, recorded mainly for girls from the mid twentieth century and peaking in the 1960s before receding.
