About the name Rinku

Rinku has no dictionary meaning at all, being a pure sound-name of the kind North Indian households generate in the nursery and then never abandon. That absence of meaning is exactly why it is unisex, since there is no gendered word underneath to argue about.

Rinku is a unisex name of Hindi origin, pronounced RIN-koo. On the NameRarity scale it scores 95 out of 100, which places it in the ultra rare band — fewer than 1 in 10,000 people carry this name. You will almost never meet another. Its strongest period was the 1990s.
