Rajanigandha is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Rajanigandha is a Sanskrit-derived feminine name built from rājanī (night) and gandhā (fragrance), literally “night-fragrant.” In Sanskrit and several modern Indo‑Aryan languages, rajanigandha denotes the tuberose, a flower famed for releasing a potent scent after dusk and woven into bridal garlands and temple offerings across South Asia. The name evokes purity, romance, and auspicious beginnings.
As a given name it is chiefly used in India and Nepal, especially among Hindi- and Bengali-speaking families. Common variants include Rajnigandha (the usual Hindi spelling), Rajani‑gandha, and Rajanigandhaa; related forms like Nishigandha/Nishagandha carry the same sense of “night fragrance.” Diminutives such as Rajni or Raji occur. The name gained wider urban recognition in the late 20th century through popular songs, poetry, and the 1974 Hindi film “Rajnigandha.” Meaning: “tuberose; fragrance of the night.”
