Meaning & origin

Juhi is a Sanskrit-derived feminine name meaning 'jasmine flower,' a floral name with a delicate and charming quality. In the United States, it first appeared on record in 1991 and reached its peak popularity in 1994, after which its usage stabilized at a low but consistent level. As of 2025, it ranks 11,932, with roughly 1 in every 229,610 newborn girls receiving the name. The name has not been associated with any particular U.S. state concentration. Its appeal lies in its cross-cultural familiarity within South Asian communities and its simple, melodic sound, offering a distinct alternative to more common floral names.

Juhi is derived from Sanskrit 'juhī' (जुही), meaning a type of jasmine flower (Jasminum auriculatum). It is a common feminine name in India, particularly among Hindi-speaking communities, and has been used since the late 20th century, gaining modest popularity in the 1990s.
