Rani
[ˈrɑːni]Meaning
From Sanskrit rāṇī, meaning "queen"; also from Hebrew ran, "to sing".
Background Story
Rani comes from the Sanskrit राज्ञी (rājñī), meaning a queen, princess, or the wife of a king, by way of Hindi रानी (rānī). It is a female title equivalent to queen for royal or princely rulers in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, and it is also a Sanskrit Hindu feminine given name. A separate origin traces the name to the Hebrew רַן (ran), meaning "to sing".
