MEANING & CONTEXT
What does Ratiya mean?
Ratiya may be an affectionate form of Rati, the Sanskrit name for delight and love. Eastern Hindi ratiya is also a regional word for night, so the personal name has both a loving and a nocturnal interpretation. Rati also personifies love in Sanskrit mythology as the wife of Kamadeva.
