Ratanraj is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Ratanraj is an Indic masculine given name formed from Sanskrit roots: ratna “jewel, precious gem” and rāja “king, ruler.” In modern Indo-Aryan languages, these yield Ratan + Raj, giving the sense “king of jewels,” “sovereign among treasures,” or metaphorically “one of peerless worth.” The Sanskritized compound Ratnarāja appears in classical usage and poetic epithets, lending the name an auspicious tone of brilliance, prosperity, and high esteem.

Use is most common in Hindi- and Nepali-speaking communities, with some presence across North India and among the diaspora. While relatively uncommon as a single fused form, it is also found as the spaced compound Ratan Raj. Variants and spellings include Ratanraaj, Rattanraj, Ratnaraj (from Sanskrit), and Ratna Raj. Common short forms are Ratan and Raj. Related names include Ratna (often feminine) and Ratnadev/Ratnarayan, which share the “gem” theme.
