Meaning & origin
Aditi entered the U.S. Social Security Administration's records in 1977 and reached its peak rank of 2,719 in 2009, with a 1-in-25,512 birth rate that year. Since then, its popularity has been declining, reflecting a broader trend away from some classical Sanskrit names outside of India. The name is most common in states with large Indian American populations, such as Washington, New Jersey, and California. In Hindu tradition, Aditi is revered as the boundless mother of the gods, giving the name a mythological depth that appeals to families seeking a name with spiritual resonance. Its phonetic simplicity and cross-cultural appeal have helped it maintain a steady, if modest, presence in the United States.
Aditi is a Sanskrit name meaning 'boundless' or 'unlimited.' In Hindu mythology, Aditi is the mother of the Adityas, a group of solar deities. The name has long been used in India, particularly among Hindu families, and has gained modest popularity in the English-speaking world since the late 20th century.
