Roh is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.
Roh is a cross-cultural given name with several roots. In South Asia it functions as a short form of Sanskrit-derived names such as Rohan (“ascending; to rise”) and Rohit (from rohita, “red; early sun”). In Persian/Urdu/Hindi, the cognate rooh (from Arabic rūḥ) means “soul, spirit,” and some parents adopt the pared-down spelling Roh. In Korean contexts, Roh is a common surname (also spelled No or Noh); as a one-syllable given name Ro/Roh can be written with various hanja, giving meanings like “path” (路) or “dew” (露).
Used as a unisex choice in English-speaking settings, Roh appears independently or as a nickname, with variants Ro and Rooh; related names include Rohan, Rohit, and Rohini, and Arabic Ruh/Rūḥ. As a given name it lacks a single fixed meaning; parents often align it with “rising, growth,” “spirit,” or a chosen hanja sense. The spelling overlaps with the Korean surname, lending a cosmopolitan sound.
