Rimjhim meaning
Rimjhim (रिमझिम) is a Hindu girl's name of Hindi origin.
With a pattering sound, as of gentle rain
Also used to mean: drizzle, light rain
Rimjhim (रिमझिम) is a Hindi word that imitates its own sound. Platts' Hindustani dictionary marks it as onomatopoeic and defines it as "with a pattering sound" or "patter-patter", as of rain. In everyday speech it describes a light, steady monsoon drizzle. Name lists give Rimjhim as "drizzle" or "light rain", which matches the dictionary. As a name it is light and affectionate, and it reads the same in Hindi and Urdu.
