Meaning & origin

Kruti is a name of Sanskrit origin meaning 'creation' or 'art'. It first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1981, reflecting a modest but steady presence among Indian-American families. Its peak usage occurred in 1999, and since then the name has remained stable in its rarity. Though it has never entered the top 1000 nationally, Kruti carries cultural significance and is primarily chosen for its artistic and devotional connotations.
