Mandiben

Mandiben is a feminine given name used in Indian communities, particularly among Gujarati speakers. The form typically includes the honorific suffix -ben, which in Gujarati and related languages is employed to address or refer to a woman with respect, often implying an elder sister or a respectful relation. As a result, Mandiben is commonly understood as a respectful given name rather than a surname or geographic term.

Naming practices in Gujarati and related linguistic traditions are diverse, and individuals may choose Mandiben for phonetic, familial, or cultural reasons. The suffix -ben is widespread in female names and conveys cultural respect in daily speech and formal address.

In contemporary contexts, people named Mandiben may be found in various professional and community settings, including education, business, and public service.
