Avani (अवनि) is a Sanskrit name meaning "earth" or "the earth." In Hindu thought, the earth is personified as a mother goddess (Bhumi or Avani), the bearer and giver of all life.
Avani is rising rapidly as a girl's name in India and across the South Asian diaspora.
Avani does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Avani reduce to 2, The Peacemaker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
