History & Origin
Surabhi is a Sanskrit name whose plain meaning is 'fragrance,' but it carries a deeper resonance as a name of Kamadhenu, the wish-granting cow honored in Hindu scripture as a source of abundance. Brought to the United States by Indian families, it has stayed uncommon and clearly heritage-linked.
Surabhi has remained rare in the United States, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its peak around the early twenty-tens, chiefly in Indian American homes. A girl named Surabhi then would be in her mid-teens today.
