Ramya. It's Sanskrit for Beauty and elegance. it comes in a religious hymn, my Mum is a spiritual person, and she really liked it.
As for the pronunciation. NOT Ram as in Ram, the animal. But as in Rum, the hic.  ya = yeah. So, my name sounds like Rum-yeah.
This is what my name looks like in the Devanagari script, just for kicks :
You won't believe the headache involved in getting others to say it right. There are at least 5 ways my name is misspelled/mispronounced.
