What is the meaning of the name Rasbihari ?

The baby name Rasbihari is a Male name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced ras-BIH-huh-ree (IPA: /rəsˈbɪhəri/).

Rasbihari is Sanskrit in Origin.

Rasbihari is a masculine Indian name rooted in Sanskrit via Hindi/Braj: rasa “essence, sweetness, aesthetic emotion” + vihari “one who roams/delights,” an epithet of Krishna. The sense is “he who delights in divine rasa,” evoking joy, playfulness, and refined taste, especially the rasa-lila of Vaishnava devotion. In Devanagari it is often written रसबिहारी.

Used across North India and Bengal, the name appears in temple titles (Shri Rasbihari Ji) and in personal names from the 18th–20th centuries, notably the revolutionary Rash Behari Bose (1886–1945), whose Bengali phonology accounts for the “Rash” spelling. Common variants and spacings include Rasbehari, Rashbehari, Rash Behari, Ras Bihari, and Rasabihari. Related devotional epithets are Bihari, Banke Bihari, and Rasik. Informal short forms may be Ras, Bihari, or Hari. The name suits families seeking a culturally resonant, theologically rich choice that balances classical Sanskrit roots with living North Indian usage.
