What is the meaning of the name Roshni ?

The baby name Roshni is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /roːʃniː/ (ROSH-nee).

Roshni is Persian in Origin.

Roshni is a feminine given name widely used across South Asia, drawn from Hindi and Urdu roshni (Devanagari: रोशनी; Perso-Arabic: روشنی), meaning “light, brightness, illumination.” The noun itself comes via Persian roshan/raushan “bright, luminous,” ultimately from Middle/Old Iranian roots associated with shining. As a personal name, it carries connotations of clarity, enlightenment, hope, and auspicious new beginnings.

Usage appears in Urdu and Hindi poetry and popular culture, and the name grew in visibility through the 20th century, appealing to Hindu, Muslim, and Sikh families alike in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and the diaspora. Related forms and spellings include Roshnee, Rosni, Raushni, and Roshini (common in Tamil- and Sinhala-speaking communities); cognates and near-relations include Roshan (often masculine/unisex) and Noor/Nur (“light”). Diminutives such as Rosh and Roshy occur in English-speaking contexts.
