History & Origin

Chinmayi comes from the Sanskrit chinmayi, 'full of consciousness; made of pure awareness,' built on chit, consciousness itself. It is an epithet of the goddess in Hindu tradition, and a familiar girls' name in India — the singer Chinmayi Sripaada is among its bearers. Deep and luminous (said 'chin-MY-ee').

In the U.S. it appears very rarely, mostly in Indian families. Rare, philosophical, and radiant.

Did you know? Chinmayi grows from chit, the Sanskrit word for pure consciousness — a term at the heart of Hindu philosophy — and it is used as a name of the Divine Mother, which we note respectfully (said 'chin-MY-ee').
