Roshnee is Hindi, Urdu in Origin.
Roshnee is a modern South Asian feminine name meaning “light,” “radiance,” or “brightness.” It reflects the Hindi–Urdu word roshni (रोशनी / روشنی), which comes from Persian roshan/roshani “bright, luminous,” ultimately from Middle Persian rōšan. In poetry and everyday speech across the subcontinent, roshni evokes illumination, clarity, and hope - connotations carried directly into the given name.
As a given name, Roshnee appears widely from the mid–20th century onward in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, with continued use in diaspora communities. The -ee ending is an English-friendly way to mark the long final ī sound of roshni, so Roshnee functions as a phonetic variant rather than a distinct form. Common variants include Roshni, Roshani (Nepali), Roshini (Sinhala/Tamil), and transliterated Roshnī; related masculine Roshan shares the same Persian root. Parents often choose the name for its auspicious association with enlightenment, festive lights, and a bright future.
