Meaning & Origin of Rohini
Meaning: The red one; growing, ascending.
Origin: Sanskrit.
A common claim: Rohini is sometimes glossed as 'the red deer.' Actually: That detail actually comes from a separate constellation myth (Mrigashira, 'deer's head') rather than from Rohini's own name, which more literally means 'the red one' or 'ascending, growing.'
