What is the meaning of the name Rati ?

The baby name Rati is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced RUH-tee.

Rati is Sanskrit in Origin.

Rati is a Sanskrit feminine name from rati रति, an old Indic noun attested in Vedic and classical Sanskrit. It belongs to the root √ram, to delight, enjoy, or rest, with the abstract noun-forming suffix -ti. Its literal range includes repose, pleasure, enjoyment, affection, and erotic delight; in naming, the mythological and devotional sense often outweighs the narrower dictionary gloss.

In Hindu tradition Rati is personified as the goddess of desire and pleasure, best known as the wife of Kāma or Kāmadeva, the god of love. The name appears in Sanskrit literature and Purāṇic storytelling, especially in accounts of Kāma’s burning by Śiva and Rati’s grief. Modern use is chiefly Indian and Hindu, with straightforward romanization as Rati; it remains uncommon in U.S. birth rankings.
