Avishi (आविशी, IAST: āviśī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “The river of grace; she into whom grace flows”. Variant of Avisha (Phase 1) with the -ī ending; the flowing river of grace.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Avishi (आविशी) is a variant of Phase 1's Avisha — built from the Sanskrit āviṣ (to enter, to manifest) with the -ī ending. The literal sense is "she into whom grace flows, the flowing river of grace."

Where Avisha emphasises the act of being-entered-by-grace, Avishi names the river-like flow itself — the continuous stream of grace through a life.
