Ramya meaning
Ramya (रम्या) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Enjoyable, pleasing, delightful, beautiful
Also used to mean: pleasant
Ramya (रम्या) is the feminine of Sanskrit ramya, which Monier-Williams defines as enjoyable, pleasing, delightful and beautiful. The feminine ramyā is also recorded as a word for night in the Harivamsa, a kind of musical interval, the name of a daughter of Meru in the Bhagavata Purana and the name of a river. Name lists give Ramya as "beautiful", "pleasant" or "delightful", the same as the dictionary. The name is used in South India, and is spelled Remya in Kerala. The actor Ramya Krishnan is a well-known bearer.
