Ramadevi meaning
Ramadevi (रमादेवी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
The goddess Ramā, that is Lakshmi (ramā + devī)
Ramadevi (रमादेवी) joins Ramā, a name of the goddess Lakshmi, with devī, "goddess", so it means "the goddess Ramā", that is, Lakshmi. Monier-Williams gives ramā as a name of Lakshmi and as good fortune and splendour, and devī as a female deity, as well as a queen or lady. Adding -devi to a goddess's name is a way of forming girls' names, and Ramadevi is used in the Telugu states and Odisha. A notable bearer is V. S. Ramadevi, the first woman to serve as India's Chief Election Commissioner.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Lakshmi.
