The name Gazali is a boy's name of Arabic, Indonesian origin meaning "gazelle; to spin, whirl".

Also spelled as Ghazali, this name has an energetic sound that echoes its meaning. Notably borne by 11th-century Sunni scholar Abu Hamid al-Ghazali, the name has been interpreted to mean "gazelle" or "to spin, whirl" in reference to the occupation of weaving.

More commonly used as a surname, it has a poetic feel to it too, owing to its similarity in sound to the Ghazal, a type of Arabic ode. In this instance, it may be connected to its Persian meaning, "to display love to the loved one via words".
