About the name Amrita

Amrita is the drink the gods fought an ocean for, and the name carries that mythic greed for life without ever sounding grand. Two of twentieth-century India's most uncompromising women artists bore it, which has quietly attached a streak of rebellion to the sound.

Amrita is a girl name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced ahm-REE-tah. On the NameRarity scale it scores 79 out of 100, which places it in the very rare band — a genuinely uncommon pick — most people have never met anyone with this name. Its strongest period was the 1980s.
