Meaning & origin

Sritha first appeared in the United States in 2005, making it a relatively recent addition to the American name pool. It reached its peak popularity in 2015, though the name has remained rare overall, never ranking among the top 1,000 names in any year. The trajectory indicates a rising trend since 2006, suggesting steady if modest growth in usage. Parents drawn to Sritha often appreciate its melodic quality and possible Sanskrit roots, which lend it a sense of cultural depth. While it has not yet been recorded in any U.S. state's top names, its appeal may continue to grow as part of the broader interest in Indian-origin names.

The name Sritha likely derives from Sanskrit श्री (śrī), a term for prosperity, beauty, and light. It is a modern given name in South India, particularly among Telugu and Tamil speakers, and has seen occasional use in the United States since the early 2000s. The name may also be a variant of Shreetha or Shrita.
