    Spelling of this Indian name?

    It's a little girl's name - Anjali? Anjani? Anyone know what it would be & how to spell it? Possibly a long shot but worth an ask!

    Re: Spelling of this Indian name?

    Both names are correctly spelt.

    Anjali is the popular girls name.

    ETA Anjani means gift / offering to god

    Anjani, pronounced AAnjani is a a gods name or son of a god, more suited for boys.

    Some conflict over whether Anjani is boy or girl though:

    I think you'll have to ask I'm afraid (if you can!)

    And even if that's what is sounds like it might not actually be spelt in either way - Laura has a little girl in her class called Maria....well that's how it's pronounced but it's written Maariya! She's Indian and I'd have gone for MAR-ee-a as a pronounciation if I hadn't heard her mum say it!

    I'm leaning towards Anjali but I think I'm just going to have to ask. I hate having to do that, I've known the mum for 7 months!
