Ruchira meaning
Ruchira (रुचिरा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Bright, radiant, beautiful; pleasant, charming
Ruchira (रुचिरा) is the feminine of Sanskrit rucira, which Monier-Williams defines as bright, brilliant, radiant, splendid and beautiful, and also pleasant, charming and agreeable. The feminine Rucirā is listed as a woman's name, the name of two metres and a river in the Ramayana. Name lists translate Ruchira as "beautiful" or "radiant", matching the dictionary. The masculine Ruchir is used for boys. In Sri Lanka Ruchira is often a man's name, but in India it is given to girls.
