History & Origin

Shivangi is a Sanskrit name from Shiva, a principal Hindu deity, and anga, 'part' or 'body,' meaning 'a part of Shiva' and 'beautiful.' A common girl's name in India, it appeared in American records with Indian immigrant families, and we treat its sacred root with respect.

It was never common in the United States, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its peak around 1992, and remained rare and community-specific. A girl named Shivangi then is in her thirties today.

Did you know? Shivangi's meaning reaches back to Shiva, one of Hinduism's principal deities - the name reads as 'a part of Shiva,' and so, tenderly, as 'beautiful.'
