Yamini (यामिनी) is the Sanskrit word for "night" — also an epithet of the goddess Durga (the dark night). The cool serene night.
Yamini Krishnamurthy (1940-2024) was the legendary Indian Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi dancer.
Yamini 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 Yamini reduce to 8, The Visionary. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
