Ratnangi is Sanskrit in Origin.

Ratnangi (Sanskrit: Ratnāṅgī) combines ratna “jewel, gem” with aṅgī “bodied, having limbs,” yielding the sense “jewel‑limbed,” “bejeweled one,” or “she whose body is like jewels.” The compound appears in classical Sanskrit poetry as a laudatory epithet for exquisitely adorned women and, in devotional literature, for goddesses such as Lakshmi, strengthening associations with beauty, prosperity, and auspicious radiance.

As a given name, Ratnangi has circulated within Sanskritic Hindu traditions in India, though it remains uncommon and feels distinctive today. Spelling variants include Ratnāṅgī (with diacritics), Ratnaangi, and Ratnangi; related names are Ratna, Ratnadevi, and Ratnavali. Usage is predominantly feminine, guided by the -ī ending, but modern practice may treat it as unisex. The name also carries cultural prestige from Carnatic music: Ratnangi is the second Melakarta raga, giving the name a refined South Indian classical aura and artistic connotation.
