What is the meaning of the name Raasi ?

The baby name Raasi is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced RAA-see (rah-see), IPA: /ˈrɑːsi/ — alternate pronunciation /ˈrɑːʃi/ (rashi).

Raasi is Sanskrit in Origin.

Raasi stems from Sanskrit rāśi (राशि), a term meaning collection, heap, or sum and, in classical jyotiṣa, zodiac sign. Through Indo-Aryan and Dravidian languages it appears as Hindi/Marathi/Nepali Rashi or Raashi and Tamil/Telugu/Kannada/Malayalam Rasi/Raasi, all pronounced with a long ā. As a given name it carries connotations of the astrological signs, destiny, and abundance or good fortune.

Used across the Indian subcontinent in recent decades, Raasi is primarily feminine but functions as a unisex choice regionally. Common variants include Raashi, Rashi, and Rasi; spelling largely reflects transliteration rather than distinct meanings. The name’s cultural resonance comes from its presence in traditional horoscopic vocabulary and almanacs, where the twelve rāśis structure birth charts. Because of those associations, families may choose Raasi for children born under an auspicious sign or to invite a life marked by prosperity and favorable alignments.

Raasi is about as rare as a name gets. In all, it appears just 16 times, across 7 countries.
