Raunak is an Indian origin name derived from Sanskrit 'Raunaq', signifying prosperity and wealth. It's often used for boys but can also be given to girls in some parts of India. Historically, Raunak is associated with Hindu mythology's 12 Adityas and legendary warrior king Ravana. Despite its associations with abundance, it's not typically chosen by wealthy families; rather, parents select it for its unique meaning and blessing of good fortune. Primarily used in India, Raunak is a distinctive choice gaining traction among Indian communities abroad.
