Raveena as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Raveena

What is the meaning of the name Raveena ?

The baby name Raveena is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ruh-VEE-nuh.

Raveena is Sanskrit in Origin.

Raveena is a modern Indian feminine formation built on Sanskrit ravi, written रवि, the classical word for the sun and also a Vedic solar name. The earliest secure element is therefore ravi, from Sanskrit, rather than an ancient attested personal name Raveena. The ending -ina/-eena reflects later Indo-Aryan and English-style feminine name formation, giving the sense sunny, radiant, or belonging to the sun.

The name is chiefly associated with Hindu and South Asian naming practice, where solar vocabulary has long supplied personal names such as Ravi, Ravindra, and Ravina. Raveena became especially visible in late twentieth-century India through actress Raveena Tandon, and U.S. records show small, mostly female use from the 1990s, with a peak in 1994. Ravina is the closest spelling variant; Raveena represents the lengthened English transliteration common in Indian names.
