Mohini is an Indian feminine given name, derived from the Sanskrit word 'mohinī', which means 'enchantress' or 'charming'. It is often used in Hindu traditions to refer to the female form of the divine being Lord Vishnu, who appears as Mohini to enchant and confuse the demon Bhasakasura. In India, this name has been traditionally bestowed upon daughters with hopes of endowing them with similar charm and allure.
"Mohini experienced a surge in popularity between 1996 and 2000 with over 40 births annually, peaking at 14 births each year in both 1996 and 2000. However, its usage has since fluctuated, with years like 1988, 1989, 2002, and 2023 seeing fewer than 10 births each."
