Meaning & origin
Nidhi entered the U.S. Social Security Administration's records in 1976, reflecting the growing Indian-American community. The name peaked in popularity in 2010, with its highest number of registrations, but has since been on a downward trajectory, falling since 2007. In the latest year of data, 2023, Nidhi ranked 5,410 and was given to roughly 1 in 69,881 baby girls. The name is most concentrated among families in Texas, one of the top states for the name. As an Indian name from Sanskrit, Nidhi has maintained steady usage within the diaspora even as its overall U.S. rank has declined in recent years.
Nidhi derives from Sanskrit निधि (nidhi), meaning 'treasure' or 'storehouse,' often used in Hindu mythology to refer to the nine treasures of Kubera, the god of wealth. The name has been common in India for centuries and remains popular among Hindu families today.
