Rakhhi is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Rakhhi is a modern South Asian given name derived from Hindi/Punjabi rākhī (राखी), the decorative thread tied on the wrist during Raksha Bandhan, emblematic of a “bond of protection.” The word is ultimately traceable to Sanskrit rakṣā, “protection,” and conveys ideas of guardianship, affection, and auspicious blessing, making it especially appealing for girls, though it can be unisex.

Use as a personal name rose in the 20th century in India and the diaspora, often inspired by the festival’s symbolism and popular culture; the actress Rakhee helped normalize the form Rakhee. Rakhhi represents a stylized respelling of Rakhi/Rakhee, sometimes chosen to highlight the aspirated kh. Common variants include Rakhi, Rakhee, Raakhi, and regional forms such as Rakhri (Punjabi); related names are Raksha and Rakshita. The core sense remains “protective thread” or “bond of protection.”
