Name interpretation
The name Imani symbolizes a person’s propensity for continuous movement. «Egoza» and «fidget» in childhood, it practically does not change with age: the love of changing places, the inability and unwillingness to value stability in any form often become the cause of loneliness.
But loneliness is not a burden. On the contrary, it is often perceived as an obligatory attribute of freedom, which is for such a person the only way of existence, the basis of motivation, a “fetish”.

The meaning of the letters of the name
Appearance
The main task is not to arouse spontaneous antipathy in anyone. Therefore, you should pay special attention to the unity of style, the softness of the lines and, last but not least, the general external neatness. An inappropriate detail in clothing produces the same unpleasant impression as well-worn, stale, any part of the costume.
Try to learn to understand styles. Otherwise, the desire for a certain average type can lead to the fact that you will look like a «gray mouse».
Imani name compatibility, manifestation of love
Imani, your characteristic qualities are charm, romanticism and the ability to show your feelings in such forms that they can’t but cause a reaction. The state of being in love gives you a feeling of fullness of life, continuous euphoria. Your gift to find beauty in every prospective partner is amazing and delightful. However, as soon as the relationship loses the charm of novelty, becomes ordinary and obligatory, your interest in us quickly fades. But although you often endure the break itself easily, memories of it remain rather painful for you for a long time, because you like to sort through and analyze the smallest details and circumstances, comparing the past with the present.

Motivation
You are gifted with a bright personality, and all your spiritual aspirations are aimed at realizing your abilities in one way or another.
This desire often determines your choice.
But there are many abilities, and they are very diverse. Accordingly, there may be several ways to implement them. So quite often you find yourself having to give up one opportunity in favor of another.
It’s good if you are smart enough to focus on a specific goal and direct all your efforts towards achieving it. It is bad if you are trying to «chase two birds with one stone», not wanting to give up even a small chance of success. In this case, you run the risk of wasting all your spiritual potential for nothing, “spraying” it, letting it go to the wind. And — to be left with nothing.
You should trust your heart more. He does not care about external brilliance, all the tinsel that usually decorates the life of artistic natures. Therefore, it is it that at the right time will tell you the only right decision. Try to «hear» it.
Characteristics of the name Imani
Numerous adventures, as a rule, provide you with your curiosity, restless character, propensity to take risks, as well as a desire to learn as much as possible about the world around you and your place in it.
