Meaning & origin
Kriti is a name of Sanskrit origin that reached a peak rank of 5,917 in 2025 after being first recorded in U.S. data in 1991. Its frequency, about 1 in 80,363 newborns, places it among rarer names, and its popularity has been falling since 2015. The name is most common in California and Texas, reflecting its use in Indian American communities.
Kriti is derived from the Sanskrit root √kṛ (to do, make, create), forming the noun kṛti (कृति), meaning a work, creation, or accomplishment. The name has long been used in India, particularly among Hindu families, and has gained modest popularity in the English-speaking world since the 1990s, often as a feminine given name.
