Baby name story: Vaibhavi

In August of 2016, a baby girl born in Uttar Pradesh, India, was named Vaibhavi upon the suggestion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The baby’s mother had written to Modi asking for a name, and Modi telephoned a week later to recommend Vaibhavi, as it contained letters from the names of both parents, Bharat and Vibha.

(In December, Narendra Modi indirectly named another baby Khazanchi, or “treasurer.”)

Baby born at bank, named Khazanchi (“cashier”)

rupee notes

Last month, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi unexpectedly demonetized 500- and 1,000-rupee banknotes. His long-term goal is to crack down on corruption, but the result so far has been chaos…likely to be followed by a substantial economic slowdown.

Last week, on December 2, a pregnant woman in Uttar Pradesh went into labor while waiting in line at the bank. With the help of other bank customers, she delivered a baby boy on bank premises. To mark the occasion, the baby was named Khazanchi, which means “treasurer” or “cashier” (from khazana, “treasure,” plus the agentive suffix -chi).
