Reshma is a feminine given name of Indian origin, derived from Sanskrit 'Rashmi', which means 'ray of light'. It is popular among Hindus and Muslims alike in India and other South Asian communities around the world. The name Reshma has gained international recognition due to its association with notable figures such as Reshma Saujani, the founder of Girls Who Code, and Reshma Shetty, a Canadian actress known for her role in the television series "Royal Pains".
"While Reshma saw its peak popularity in the late 1970s and early 1980s with over 19 births each year from 1981 to 1982, it experienced a significant decline by the mid-1990s. Despite some fluctuations, it continued to remain relatively stable until the mid-2000s, with a notable spike in popularity in the year 2000."
