What is the meaning of the name Rashmila ?

The baby name Rashmila is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced RASH-mee-lah.

Rashmila is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Rashmila is a feminine given name of Sanskrit origin, used in Hindi and Nepali. It derives from Sanskrit rashmi (रश्मि), “ray” or “beam of light,” especially sunlight, combined with the adjectival suffix -ila/-la that forms qualities. Together it conveys “radiant,” “full of light,” or “one who shines.”

The name gained currency in the Indian subcontinent in the 20th century as a modern Sanskritic coinage, with particular presence in Nepal and in North and East India, including Bengali-speaking communities. It aligns with light-themed names such as Rashmi, Prabha, and Jyoti. Variants and spellings include Rashmeela, Rashmilla, and the Bengali-influenced Roshmila; related short forms are Rashu and Mila. While not widely attested in older onomastic records, its components are classical, giving the name a timeless, luminous appeal.
