About the name Aditi

In the Rigveda, Aditi is the sky itself given a mother's face, the one who cannot be bound or cut off. Parents who pick it now tend to know that lineage, which gives the name an intellectual weight its light consonants do not advertise.

Aditi is a girl name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced AH-dih-tee. On the NameRarity scale it scores 74 out of 100, which places it in the rare band — recognisable but seldom used. Distinctive without needing to be spelled out twice. Its strongest period was the 1990s.
