Thandi, of Sanskrit origin, means 'soft' or 'gentle'. This name is often found in South African contexts and holds cultural significance due to its association with the country's history.
The name Thandi was consistently popular over the years, with a notable spike in usage in 1994, when it had its highest number of births (10). However, it experienced a steady decline from 1994 onwards, with births ranging between 5 and 6 per year. Despite this decrease in popularity, Thandi has maintained a relatively stable level of usage over the years, with a total of 41 births recorded between 1994 and 2020.
