It's a derivation of Rampriya, but have heard lot of people use Ramdulari as another name. My maid's name is also Ramdulari :-)

Yes, I know. Sita's statue was actually made of gold as per Valmiki Ramayan, but other versions have her made of lac so I'm guessing this name came from those versions. :)

I was thinking , whether using Lac idol in a yajna would be a good idea? The idol would melt because of the heat generated by sacrificial fire!

There are several meanings of Lakshaki , one of them is lac ofcourse. Other meaning is 'one' among one hundred thousand - "Lakhon mein ek" which Sita definitely was 😊

One name by which Sita is referred and worshipped is " Mithilesh dulari" - beloved of King of Mithila
