About the name Deepti

Deepti is the light a lamp gives rather than the lamp itself, a distinction Sanskrit is careful about. It reads as slightly classic in India now, which is exactly when names tend to start coming back.

Deepti is a girl name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced DEEP-tee. On the NameRarity scale it scores 83 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 1990s.
