Roshani is Persian in Origin.
Roshani is a feminine given name widely used in South Asia, meaning “light,” “brightness,” or “illumination.” It derives from Persian roshan (“bright, luminous”), transmitted through Urdu/Hindi roshnī (रोशनी/روشنی), and is also naturalized in Nepali and Sinhala. The imagery of radiance gives the name connotations of clarity, hope, and auspicious beginnings, making it popular for girls born around the festival of lights.
Documented as a modern given name throughout the 20th century, Roshani has seen steady use in India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, and among the global diaspora. Common variants and spellings include Roshni, Roshnee, Roshini (South Indian/Sri Lankan), and Roshanie; pet forms are Roshi and Rosh. The masculine counterpart is Roshan, while related “light” names include Jyoti and Deepa. Roshani travels well across languages and scripts, retaining a clear, uplifting meaning with elegant, phonetic simplicity.
