Rama is a gender-neutral name of Sanskrit origin and considerable prominence within Hindu texts. Rama has multiple translations, including “wife,” which nods to the sweet characteristics of a loving and loyal partner. Rama is also a short form of Ramachandra, representing Vishnu's most popular reincarnation and, in his honor, means "pleasing,” “delightful,” and “gratifying.” The leading hero of the Indian epic Ramayana, Rama, is the very embodiment of heroism and bravery when he fights the forces of evil to save his wife Sita. A name like Rama will no doubt steer your little one towards a path of distinction worthy of worship.
