Ramdhanie is Hindi, Swahili in Origin.

Ramdhanie is an Indo-Aryan theophoric name, most common in Indo-Caribbean communities, deriving from Hindi/Bhojpuri Ramdhānī (रामधानी). It combines Rāma, the revered epic hero and deity, with dhānī, a Sanskrit-derived word meaning “wealthy,” “possessor,” or “endowed with.” The sense is “one enriched by Rama” or “Rama’s endowed one,” implying prosperity and blessing through devotion. The final -ie reflects colonial-era orthography (especially Dutch and English) used to represent the long ī sound.

Carried by migrants from North India (largely Bhojpuri-speaking) during the 19th–early 20th century indenture period, Ramdhanie appears both as a given name - typically masculine - and as a hereditary surname in Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, and Suriname. Documented variants include Ramdhani, Ramdhany, Ramdanie, and Ramdhanee; a closely related form is Ramdhan, built on dhan “wealth.” Usage today spans religiously neutral contexts, though its meaning and structure clearly echo Hindu devotional naming traditions.
