Revathi is Sanskrit in Origin.

Revathi is a South Indian transliteration of Sanskrit Revatī (रेवती), the feminine form of revat, wealthy, prosperous, or richly endowed. The suffix -ī marks a feminine adjective or noun, so the literal sense is wealthy woman or prosperous one. Sanskrit Revatī is the earliest recoverable form, appearing as a feminine adjective and as a proper name in classical Sanskrit, where it also names a star group.

Within Hindu tradition, Revati is remembered as the daughter of King Kakudmi and wife of Balarama in Puranic narrative, giving the name a Vaishnava association. The spelling Revathi reflects South Indian romanization, especially Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam practice, while Revati, Revatī, Rewati, Revathy, and Rebati are common equivalents. In the United States it remains rare in birth records, with recorded use concentrated among families of Indian heritage.
