About the name Annapurna

To name a daughter Annapurna is to wish that no one who comes to her door leaves hungry, a promise the Kashi goddess makes with a ladle in hand. The Himalayan peak borrowed the name later, which has quietly given it a second life abroad.

Annapurna is a girl name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced ah-nah-POOR-nah. On the NameRarity scale it scores 89 out of 100, which places it in the very rare band — a genuinely uncommon pick — most people have never met anyone with this name. Its strongest period was the timeless.
