What Does the Name Kriti Mean?
Kriti is a feminine name from Sanskrit. It is the noun kṛti (कृति), from the root kṛ-, "to do, make, or perform," plus the noun-forming suffix -ti; its literal senses are "making," "action," "deed," or "a composed work." As a personal name it is usually understood as "creation" or "work of art." The similar-looking name Kirti comes from a different Sanskrit word, kīrti, "fame" or "glory."
Kriti Name History & Origins
In classical Sanskrit, kṛti is an action noun used for a deed, a made thing, or a literary or musical composition. In South Indian classical music, kriti names a devotional composition, typically with sections such as pallavi, anupallavi, and charanam; this is a specialized use of the same noun, not a separate etymology for the name. As a given name, Kriti is used in India and is written कृति in Devanagari. The English spelling reflects the Sanskrit transliteration kṛti, in which the vowel ṛ is conventionally written ri.
