Bahinabai (1628-1700) was the Marathi Brahmin Varkari poet-saint — disciple of Tukaram. Married at age 5, she fled an abusive husband to follow Tukaram's teachings, eventually returning to live with her husband while continuing her devotion. Her autobiographical abhangs are among the most personal and frank accounts of a medieval Indian woman's life — describing her struggles, her caste community's hostility, and her spiritual journey.
Featured in Bahinabaicharitra (her autobiography).
Bahinabai 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 Bahinabai reduce to 2, The Peacemaker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
