What is the meaning of the name Rohana ?

The baby name Rohana is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ROH-hah-nah (IPA: /ˈroʊ.hɑː.nə/).

Rohana is Sanskrit in Origin.

Rohana derives from Sanskrit rohana, from the verbal root ruh meaning "to rise, climb, grow." In South Asia it appears in Hindu and Buddhist settings; Sinhala chronicles and the Mahavamsa mention Rohana/Ruhuna as the southern region of Sri Lanka, and the name subsequently became common among Sinhalese men. In India and Nepal it is also used for girls as a feminine counterpart to Rohan, so it functions as a unisex name across cultures.

Variants and related forms include Rohan (masculine), Rohanna (feminine spelling), and the Sinhala form Rohana; a similar-sounding Ruhana in Arabic/Urdu stems from ruh "spirit" and means "spiritual," representing a parallel development rather than a direct cognate. The core sense of Rohana centers on ascent and flourishing (rising, growth), conveying ideas of progress, renewal, and new beginnings.
