Rati meaning
Rati (रति) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Pleasure, delight, fondness; love; rest, repose; wife of Kamadeva
Rati (रति) is a Sanskrit feminine noun from the root ram, "to delight, to enjoy". Monier-Williams lists its senses as rest and repose, pleasure, delight and fondness, and love, which in myth is personified as Rati, one of the two wives of Kāmadeva, the god of love. The dictionary also records Rati as the name of an Apsaras and of the sixth digit of the moon. Name lists give Rati as "love" or "pleasure", matching the dictionary. The name is short and sounds the same in every Indian language.
