Rasik

Rasik meaning

Rasik (रसिक) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.

Tasteful, elegant; a person of fine taste and feeling

Also used to mean: connoisseur, one who appreciates beauty

Rasik (रसिक) is Sanskrit rasika, from rasa, "taste, flavour, feeling", the word Indian aesthetics uses for the emotional essence of music, poetry and drama. Monier-Williams gives rasika as tasteful, elegant, having a discriminating taste, fond of or delighting in something, and as a noun a man full of taste or feeling. Name lists give "connoisseur", which matches. In the Carnatic concert world a rasika is a devoted, knowledgeable listener. Rasika is the girls' form.
