poornim

Poornim is a given name of Indian origin. It is a transliteration variant of Poornima, which comes from Sanskrit पूर्णिमा (pūrṇimā), meaning "full moon." The form Poornim is less common and often appears in transliterations used in South Asian communities or among members of the Indian diaspora. The name is typically feminine.

In cultural and religious contexts, Poornima refers to the full moon day in the Hindu lunar calendar. Full moon days are observed with various rituals, fasting, and prayers, and several festivals are named for Poornima (for example, Sharad Poornima). The given name Poornim may be chosen to evoke the imagery of fullness, completion, or illumination associated with the moon.

Variants and related names include Poornima and Poorna; transliteration variations exist due to regional scripts and languages such as Hindi, Marathi, Kannada, Tamil, and Bengali. The usage of Poornim as a personal name is documented in Indian communities but remains relatively rare outside India and the diaspora.
