Meaning & origin
Srishti is a feminine name of Sanskrit origin meaning 'creation' or 'the universe,' deeply rooted in Hindu philosophy. It first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1996, reflecting the growing Indian diaspora. The name saw its peak popularity in 2014, with 1 in every 67,311 births that year, but has since declined steadily. By 2025, it had fallen to rank 7,491, with roughly 1 in 114,805 births. The trajectory has been downward since 2013, indicating a shift away from this once-rising name. Srishti remains a meaningful choice for families seeking a name with spiritual and cosmic resonance.
Srishti (सृष्टि) is a Sanskrit noun meaning 'creation, emanation, the created world.' It derives from the root sṛj, 'to create, emit, put forth.' In Hindu cosmology, srishti refers to the act of cosmic creation by Brahma. The name is used across India, particularly in Hindu families, and entered U.S. records in the 1990s with the Indian diaspora.
