Meaning & origin

Shraddha entered U.S. records in 1993 and peaked in popularity in 2019. Since 2018, its usage has been declining. As of 2025, it ranks 14,942 with an incidence of 1 in 321,453 births. The name remains uncommon, largely found within Indian-American communities, and is not concentrated in any top states.

Shraddha comes from Sanskrit श्रद्धा (śraddhā), meaning 'faith, trust, devotion, reverence.' In Hindu tradition, Shraddha also refers to a ritual offering made to ancestors. The name is widely used in India and among the global Indian diaspora, often chosen for its spiritual and positive connotations.
