On doing a second round of search - trying to check whether this could be a name for person, found this: রাম্জানি Ramjani - a given Indian Bengali FEMALE name ... Bengali Baby Names - nameurbaby.com <http://www.nameurbaby.com/babyMeaning/Bengali/Ramjani>
This possibility is far-fetched, though cannot be overruled. Another possibility is the flowering / fruiting is at its peak during the holy month of Ramzan ... thus रमजानी. I would go ahead to place ¿ রাম্জানি ? as tentative spelling for *ramjani* until someone confidently validates it in negative OR positive. Thanks and regards.
