Roshbihari is Indian in Origin.

Roshbihari is a North Indian male name with Sanskrit roots, best understood as a regional spelling of Rasbihari/Rashbehari. It combines rasa (sap, essence, aesthetic delight) with vihari (one who wanders, sports, or revels), an epithet often applied to Krishna; hence the sense “the one who delights in divine joys” or “Krishna, the playful enjoyer.” The element Bihari appears in other Vaishnava names such as Banke Bihari and Bihari Lal.

Used across Hindi- and Bengali-speaking regions, the name gained wider recognition through the revolutionary Rash Behari Bose, commemorated by Kolkata's Rashbehari Avenue. Spellings vary by region and script: Rasbihari, Rashbehari, Rosh Behari, Roshbihari, with Behari/Bihari used interchangeably. Some modern speakers associate the first element with Perso-Arabic rosh/roshan (“light, bright”), but scholarly etymology points to Sanskrit rasa + vihari. Diminutives include Bihari and Behari; feminine adaptations are rare.
