Rathana, of Sanskrit origin, means 'pure' or 'clear'. This name is often associated with beauty and grace, reflecting its connection to the lotus flower that thrives in muddy waters but produces pure, unsoiled blossoms. In Hindu and Buddhist traditions, the lotus symbolizes enlightenment, growth, and divine birth, making Rathana a name imbued with profound spiritual significance.
"Rathana experienced a notable increase in newborns between 1986 and 1988, with a peak of 9 births in 1986 and 8 births in 1988. However, there was a decline afterwards until 1991, with only 5 to 7 births each year. After a gap of several years, there were again 5 births in 1998."
