Ratnaprabha meaning
Ratnaprabha (रत्नप्रभा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
'jewel-lustre': the earth; the name of various women and an Apsaras
Also used to mean: radiance of jewels, light of gems
Ratnaprabha (रत्नप्रभा) joins ratna, "jewel", and prabhā, "light" or "lustre", so name lists give it as the radiance or light of jewels. Monier-Williams records ratnaprabhā as a poetic name for the earth, as the name of several women in classical stories such as the Kathasaritsagara, and as an Apsaras, a celestial dancer; in Jain cosmology it is also the name of the first of the lower worlds. In Maharashtra Ratnaprabha is used as a girls' name.
