What is the meaning of the name Rajanee ?

The baby name Rajanee is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced rah-JAH-nee (IPA: /rɑːˈdʒɑːni/).

Rajanee is Sanskrit in Origin.

Rajanee is a feminine given name rooted in Sanskrit rajanī, meaning “night,” a poetic term found throughout classical Sanskrit literature. Through Indo‑Aryan languages it appears as Rajani (Hindi, Bengali, Marathi) and Rajni; the double‑e spelling Rajanee reflects the long final ī. The name also entered Thai as Ratchanee/Rachanee via Indic cultural exchange, keeping the same meaning. While predominantly feminine, Rajani/Rajanee can be unisex in some South Asian contexts.

Documented as a personal name across India and Nepal since the modern era, Rajanee gained wider currency in the mid‑20th century in Thailand and among the South Asian diaspora (Trinidad, Guyana, Fiji, Mauritius), where spellings like Rajanie and Rajnee occur. Variants and close forms include Rajani, Rajni, Rajnee, Rajanie, Rachanee, and Ratchanee. Related (not equivalent) names are Rajanikanta/Rajanikant (a masculine compound) and Ratri. Symbolically, Rajanee evokes moonlight, quiet beauty, and reflective calm.
