About the name Ramya

Ramya comes from a Sanskrit root meaning delightful, and it spread through Andhra and Karnataka as a name that was pretty without being ornate. Two crisp syllables make it one of the easier South Indian names for non-Indian colleagues to get right first time.

Ramya is a girl name of Telugu origin, pronounced RUM-yah. On the NameRarity scale it scores 74 out of 100, which places it in the rare band — recognisable but seldom used. Distinctive without needing to be spelled out twice. Its strongest period was the 1990s.
