Rajarshi (IAST: Rājarṣi) comes from Sanskrit rājā, “king,” and ṛṣi, “seer/sage,” yielding the sense of a “royal sage,” a ruler who attains the insight and austerity of a rishi or a sage of royal birth. The name carries nuances of wise leadership, self-discipline, justice, and spiritual authority.

In Hindu texts the honorific marks figures such as Viśvāmitra - styled a rajarshi before becoming a brahmarshi - and the philosopher‑king Janaka of Mithila in Upanishadic dialogues. As a modern given name it is chiefly masculine and used across India and Nepal, especially in Bengali, Marathi, Hindi, and Gujarati spheres. Variants and spellings include Rajarshi, Rājarshi/Rājarṣi (with diacritics), Raja Rishi, Rajrishi, and Rajarsi; related short forms are Raja and Rishi. Historical resonance also appears in titles like “Rajarshi Shahu” for the reformist Maharaja of Kolhapur. Overall, Rajarshi blends regal stature with contemplative virtue - a distinctive choice for families seeking a name that bridges power and wisdom.
