Keerthi

Meaning of Keerthi

Keerthi is a Sanskrit name that shines with the meaning “fame” or “glory,” offering a gentle promise of brightness wrapped in soft syllables. Pronounced KEER-thee (/kɪərˈθiː/), it carries a musical lilt that turns heads from playground swings to boardroom tables. In the U.S., Keerthi has hovered in baby-name rankings for more than a decade—rare enough that a classroom of thirty kids probably won’t hold two of them, which can make roll call feel like a mini adventure. Parents drawn to Keerthi say it feels like a guiding star—warm, inspiring, and perfectly poised to usher their daughter toward her own moment in the spotlight.
