What is the meaning of the name Rasa ?

The baby name Rasa is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced {'IPA': '/ˈrɑː.sə/', 'simple': 'RAH-sah'}.

Rasa is Lithuanian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Rasa is a feminine given name with two independent roots. In Lithuanian, Rasa comes directly from the Baltic word meaning "dew," a poetic nature name evoking freshness, purity, and early morning light. It spread in the 20th century alongside other national revival names and remains familiar in Lithuania; the traditional name day aligns with the midsummer Rasos/Joninės festival on 24 June, when dew was thought to have healing power.

Separately, in Sanskrit rasa denotes "essence, sap, flavor; aesthetic mood" in classical Indian arts, and this meaning underlies modern South Asian and Southeast Asian use of Rasa as a sometimes unisex name. Variants and related forms include Latvian Rasa, Indian Rasaa, and the derivative Rasika; Lithuanian diminutives include Rasytė and Raselė. Though similar to Rosa/Roza, those are Latin "rose" names and unrelated etymologically.
