Renukadevi is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Renukadevi unites the Sanskrit theonym Renuka with Devi, "goddess," yielding the sense "Goddess Renuka." Renuka derives from reṇu, "fine dust, atom, pollen," a poetic allusion to the myth in which the sage’s wife fashioned water pots from river sand through her purity. In Hindu literature, she is the virtuous mother of the warrior-sage Parashurama and wife of Jamadagni, and thus a revered maternal figure.
As a given name, Renukadevi is most common in India among Marathi, Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil speakers, signaling devotion to the goddess. Usage is supported by widespread cults of Renuka/Yellamma, especially at Saundatti (Karnataka) and Mahur (Maharashtra). Variants and related forms include Renuka, Reṇukā, Renuka Devi, Renukamba (Kannada), Yellamma/Ellamma (regional appellations), and the diminutive Renu. Alternative spellings such as Rennuka or Renuga occur in transliteration. The name remains rare outside South Asia.
Renukadevi is rarely chosen. In all, it turns up just 14 times, across 6 countries.
