What is the meaning of the name Vaidehi ?

The baby name Vaidehi is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced VAI-day-hee (IPA: /ˈvaɪdeɪhiː/).

Vaidehi is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Vaidehi (pronounced vai-DAY-hee) is a feminine Sanskrit name, Vaidehī, the demonym for a woman from Videha, an ancient kingdom centered in the Mithila region (now in Nepal and Bihar). As an epithet of Sita, daughter of King Janaka of Videha and consort of Rama in the Ramayana, it conveys associations of devotion, steadfastness, and grace. The literal meaning is “woman of Videha” or, by cultural extension, “princess of Videha,” hence often interpreted as “Sita.”

Attested in classical Sanskrit literature and later vernacular retellings of the Ramayana, the name remains popular across India and the diaspora. Variants and spellings include Vaidehī (with diacritic), Vaidhehi, and Vaidehee; the masculine counterpart is Vaideha. Related forms appear in many Indian languages and scripts. Contemporary parents favor Vaidehi for its lyrical sound, pan-Indian familiarity, and timeless virtues embodied by Sita.
