Rashmi

Meaning of Rashmi

Rooted in the classical Sanskrit lexicon, the feminine designation Rashmi derives from the element rāś (राश), meaning “ray” or “beam,” and thus embodies concepts of luminosity and radiant brilliance. Traditionally employed across South Asian cultures as both a personal name and a poetic epithet, it features prominently in Indic literary and religious texts where it signifies spiritual illumination and auspicious light. In the Anglo-American context, Rashmi has achieved measured adoption among newborn girls in the United States, intermittently registering within the Social Security Administration’s top thousand names since the late twentieth century. Its pronunciation in Hindi, standardized as /ˈrʌʃ.mi/, remains uniform across regional dialects.
