Torani is in Origin.

Torani is a rare cross-cultural given name with two chief etymologies. In Persian and Urdu, Tūrānī denotes “of Turan,” the legendary region north of Iran celebrated in the Shahnameh; in Mughal South Asia it functioned as a nisba for Central Asian (Turkic) elites. As a personal name, Torani thus conveys the sense “Turanian/one from the steppe” and a cosmopolitan, frontier heritage.

In Indian usage, Torani often reflects regional spelling and pronunciation of Sanskrit-derived Tarani/Tarini: taraṇi, “the sun” (and poetically “boat, ferrier”), and tāriṇī, “she who saves,” an epithet of the goddess Durga (notably venerated as Maa Tarini in Odisha). Accordingly, Torani is typically feminine in South Asia, though it can be unisex, and carries meanings such as sun, helper across, or protectress. Documented as a given name in the late 20th century and among the diaspora; variants include Turani/Tūrānī (Persian) and Tarani or Tarini (Indian).
