Urmi is a melodic and distinctive given name of Indian origin, particularly popular in Bengal, where it signifies 'the rising wave'. This name is believed to have been coined by Rabindranath Tagore himself for his niece, who was named Urmi on the day she was born under the influence of the moon's rays. The moniker evokes a sense of tranquility and grace, much like the gentle ebb and flow of the waters it represents.
Urmi had a peak of popularity with 9 babies named Urmi born in 2002. The name's usage has been relatively consistent over the years, with an average of about 6 births per year from 1998 to 2004, totaling 45 babies named Urmi during this period.
