Reshna is Indian in Origin.

Reshna is a modern South Asian feminine name, seen especially in India and among Urdu-speaking families. Its form likely arises as a contemporary spelling variant alongside Persian-derived Reshma (“silk,” from Persian/Hindustani resham) and Roshna/Roshana (“bright, luminous,” from Persian roshan). Some also associate it with Rashna/Rashnu, the Avestan name of the Zoroastrian divinity of justice, yielding readings like “truthful” or “just.” Across languages and scripts, meanings are context-dependent but cluster around softness, radiance, and integrity.

Usage is largely late-20th-century onward, spread by film, television, and Gulf diaspora networks rather than by classical literature. Common spellings and cognates include Reshma, Rashna, Roshna, and Roshana; related forms are Roshan (m.) and Roshni (f.).
