Svati (Sanskrit: स्वाति, romanized: svāti) is a feminine Hindu name that is a compound of su + ati ('great goer', in reference to its remoteness) meaning 'very beneficent'. Probably referring to its brightness call "the real pearl" in Bhartṛhari's kāvyas.[1] It was the name of one of the wives[2] of the Moon in Hindu epics and the Sanskrit name of Arcturus as well as of the nakshatra (lunar mansion) associated with Arcturus in Hindu astrology.
