Ratish is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Ratish is a masculine given name from Sanskrit, formed from rati ‘love, pleasure’ + īśa ‘lord, ruler’, literally ‘lord of Rati’ - an epithet of Kāma (Kāmadeva), the Hindu god of love. In Devanagari it is written रतीश (Ratīśa). The sense links the bearer with charm, affection, and creative vitality.
While Ratīśa appears in classical Sanskrit as a divine epithet, Ratish as a personal name gained currency in 20th‑century India and today occurs across Hindi, Bengali, Malayalam, and other communities, as well as within the South Asian diaspora. Variants and spellings include Ratiesh, Ratishh, and Ratīsha; related but etymologically distinct is Ritesh (from ṛtu ‘season’ + īśa), often confused with Ratish. Feminine counterpart Rati is common, and cognate -īś/-ish names such as Manish and Satish follow the same ‘lord/ruler’ suffix pattern.
