Ratnamala is a feminine name of Sanskrit origin, formed from ratna “jewel, gem” and mālā “garland, rosary.” It literally means “garland of jewels,” a phrase that evokes beauty, auspiciousness, prosperity, and the devotional image of prayer beads. The compound appears in classical and medieval Sanskrit across poetry and liturgy, including titles of stotras and anthologies, and has circulated as a personal name for centuries in South Asia. Usage is found in many linguistic communities - Marathi, Kannada, Telugu, Odia, Bengali, and Nepali among others - and continues in the Indian diaspora.

Variants and spellings include Ratnamālā (IAST), Ratna Mala (two words), and the regional transliterations Ratnamalaa/Ratnamalā. Common short forms are Ratna and Mala. Cognate or related names built on the same root include Ratna, Ratnadevi, and Ratnamayi.
