Anandee (आनन्दी, IAST: ānandī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “Joyful; the blissful one”. Feminine of ānandin — possessed of bliss; the historical Anandibai Joshi was India's first female doctor.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Anandee (आनन्दी) is the feminine form of the Sanskrit ānandin — possessed of ānanda (bliss). The literal sense is "the joyful one, the bearer of bliss." Where Ananda (Phase 2) names bliss itself, Anandee names the person whose nature is joy.
In 19th-century Indian history Anandibai Joshi (1865-1887) was the first Indian woman to qualify as a doctor of Western medicine — graduating from the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania at the age of 21. Her name has become synonymous with pioneering courage in feminine education.
A daughter named Anandee is named both with the joyous Sanskrit quality and with this historical-pioneering resonance.
Pronunciation: aa-NUN-dee. Pair with classical or modern surnames; both carry.
