Brinda

Meaning of Brinda

Brinda (pronounced /ˈbrɪndə/) is a female name of Sanskrit origin meaning “holy basil,” a plant revered in Hindu tradition for its aromatic leaves and spiritual significance. Historically, it evokes themes of devotion and purity, reflecting mythological associations with a devotee of Lord Vishnu. In the United States, Brinda has remained relatively uncommon; Mississippi birth records from the 1950s and 1960s show only occasional appearances, peaking at rank 112 in the mid-1960s. Though it never quite broke into the top 100, its modest record may appeal to parents seeking a name outside mainstream trends, or those simply looking to avoid the latest naming fad. Today, Brinda offers a blend of botanical charm and cultural depth, imparting understated elegance to those who bear it.
