A name that means "fair one (epithet of parvati)".

Gauri (गौरी) is the Sanskrit word for "fair" or "white" — an epithet of the goddess Parvati, Shiva's consort. In her radiant, golden form.

Where Gauri stands.

Gauri 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.

Gauris before her.
