History & Origin

Mansi is best known as a Sanskrit-derived Indian name meaning 'wisdom' or a deep, thoughtful mind. By coincidence it is also documented as a Hopi name meaning 'plucked flower', so the same short spelling belongs to two very different traditions.

In the United States it appears mainly with Indian families, cresting in the early two-thousands at just a few dozen girls a year; it stays a heritage name, chosen for its meaning rather than any American trend.

Did you know? Mansi entered US records with Indian immigrant families, touching a small peak around 2001 at only a few dozen girls a year.
