Pratik

Meaning of Pratik

Pratik is a male name of Sanskrit origin that literally translates to “symbol” or “representation,” conveying a sense of purpose and identity. Pronounced pruh-TEEK (/prəˈtiːk/) in English, it offers a clear, memorable cadence well suited to both Indian and Western contexts. Though it has never broken into the top tier of American baby-name charts—ranking around 924th in 2023 with five recorded births—Pratik has sustained a modest yet steady presence since the early 1980s. Its inherent association with symbolism lends the name a thoughtful distinction, appealing to parents who value cultural depth and straightforward pronunciation. In a landscape dominated by more familiar choices, Pratik stands out as a quietly confident alternative.
