11 Dec Meaning of your name

Ratna Dewi:
My father and mother gave me this name at birth in 1978. The name is Indonesian, I guess because my father was born there and he just pick this name because he liked it. I don’t think he knew at that time what it meant. I was curious what it meant and looked it up at one stage in my life, the translation comes from Sanskrit, Ratna meaning Jewel, and Dewi meaning Goddess.
After 38 years now, I can see that this name is my soul calling.

Dewi is the divine feminine/mother which brings love, compassion, nurturing, care, loving kindness, inner wisdom/ intuition, peace…
