Rohin meaning
Rohin (रोहिन) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, रो, it is a Tula rashi name (Swati nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Rising, ascending; grown tall
Rohin (रोहिन) is Sanskrit rohin, from the verb ruh, "to rise, to grow". Monier-Williams gives it as rising, mounting or ascending, grown tall, and growing or increasing. Its feminine form is rohiṇī, the name of the bright star Aldebaran and of the lunar mansion linked to it, which is why some lists connect Rohin with the Rohini nakshatra. Name lists give "rising" or "ascending", matching the dictionary. Rohin is a cousin of Rohan, used in north and west India.
