Rani (रानी) is the Sanskrit-Hindi word for "queen" — feminine of raja, used as a title for Indian princesses, royal consorts, and Hindu and Sikh sovereign women. Rani Mukerji (born 1978) — Indian actress whose 30-year Hindi cinema career has produced four Filmfare Best Actress wins (the third-most ever) — for Hum Tum (2004), Black (2005), Mardaani (2014), Hichki (2018). Padma Shri (2024). Rani Karnaa — Indian classical dancer.
Rani does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Rani reduce to 6, The Nurturer. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
