Ramani meaning
Ramani (रमणी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
A beautiful young woman; (from ramaṇa) pleasing, charming
Also used to mean: beautiful woman
Ramani (रमणी) comes from the Sanskrit root ram, "to delight". Monier-Williams defines ramaṇī as a beautiful young woman or beloved, citing classical poetry and the Bhagavata Purana, and the related adjective ramaṇa as pleasing, charming and delightful. It is also the name of a metre and of a serpent-maiden in the Rajatarangini. Name lists give Ramani as "beautiful woman" or "pleasing", matching the dictionary. The masculine Raman comes from the same root.
