Revatiramaṇa (रेवतीरमण, IAST: Revatīramaṇa) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Beloved husband and delight of Revati”. Composed of 'Revatī,' the daughter of King Raivata and Balarama's devoted wife, and 'ramaṇa' (one who delights, a loving husband), this name enshrines the Lord's role as the perfect consort.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Revatī was a princess of extraordinary beauty and virtue who, due to her father's sojourn in Brahmaloka, lived across cosmic time before being united with Balarama upon their return to earth. The word 'ramaṇa,' from the root 'ram' (to rejoice or delight), evokes not merely physical union but the soul's rest in the divine; Balarama as her husband thus symbolizes the jiva's ultimate refuge in the Supreme. This name honors the sanctity of divine marriage as a model of complete, transcendent love.

This epithet of Balarama is especially cherished in traditions that celebrate the divine couple Balarama-Revati alongside Radha-Krishna; it may serve as a compound given name in devotional families. Pronounced ray-vah-tee-rah-mah-nah, with equal emphasis across syllables.
