Trishani is a modern South Asian feminine name drawing on the Sanskrit root tṛṣṇā (often rendered trishna), meaning “thirst, longing, desire.” In name use, this sense is typically positive - “deep aspiration,” “yearning for knowledge,” or “longing for the divine.” The -ni ending mirrors patterns in Sanskrit and Sinhala feminine forms, giving an elegant, lyrical flow.
