Roshnii is Hindi, Urdu in Origin.
Roshnii is a modern South Asian feminine name rooted in the Hindi-Urdu noun roshnī, meaning light, brightness, or illumination. The term comes from Persian roshan, bright or luminous, with the -ī suffix that forms abstract nouns; as a given name it conveys radiance, clarity, and hope. The double-i spelling reflects the long vowel ī in transliteration and also serves as a contemporary stylistic respelling favored in the diaspora.
Usage is widespread across Hindi- and Urdu-speaking communities in India and Pakistan and among South Asians worldwide, with increased visibility from the mid-20th century through popular music, cinema, and television. Poetic and devotional literature often uses roshni as a symbol of knowledge and divine grace, reinforcing the name’s uplifting associations. Common variants include Roshni (standard), Roshnee, Roshini, and Roshanie; related masculine Roshan shares the same Persian root.
