Meaning of Hasti

Hasti is a feminine given name of Persian origin, etymologically rooted in the classical Persian term hasti, which denotes “existence” or “being” and occupies a central position within the ontological register of Iranian philosophical traditions. In its phonetic manifestation—transcribed in the International Phonetic Alphabet as /ˈhɑːsti/—the name exhibits a balanced structural symmetry and a concise phonological profile consistent with its Indo-Iranian heritage. Usage data from the United States Social Security Administration underscore its uncommon but persistent presence within anglophone naming practices: seven registered occurrences in 2024 placed it at rank 943, closely mirroring its annual tallies of recent years and indicating a stable, niche adoption. Characterized by technical precision and conceptual depth, Hasti appeals to parents seeking a name that conveys both semantic richness and cross-cultural resonance.
