Meaning & Origin of Jayanti
Meaning: Victorious (from "jaya, " victory); also, in Hindu tradition, the name of Indra and Shachi's daughter and, separately, an epithet of Durga/Parvati.
Origin: Sanskrit.
A common claim: Victorious, also Durga's daughter in some traditions Actually: The 'Durga's daughter' framing conflates two distinct traditional senses -- Jayanti is separately documented as an epithet of Durga/Parvati and as the name of Indra and Shachi's daughter, not as Durga's own daughter.
