Tanashiri is a feminine name of Filipino and Indian origin that gently nods to a revered Hindu figure. This poetic appellation may be a form of Dhanashri, a title given to the Hindu goddess or rāgiṇī, Lakshmi. In the Indian language of Marathi, the word dhanāśrī can also refer to a “mode of music,” so perhaps little Tanashiri’s adorable coos will become your favorite melody! As baby grows up, a name like Tanashiri could help them grow closer to their Hindu beliefs.
