Rithvika
Meaning of Rithvika
Rithvika is a feminine given name of Sanskrit origin, derived from the Vedic term ṛtvik (“ritwik”), which denotes a priestess of sacred rites and, by extension, conveys a sense of ritual authority and spiritual discipline. Pronounced /ˈrɪθ.vi.kə/ (RITH-vee-kuh) in English, it offers a precise phonetic profile well suited to Anglo-American usage. Between 2014 and 2021, Rithvika’s annual occurrence in the U.S. ranged from five to eight newborns, consistently placing it in the mid-900s (peaking at rank 938 in 2019 and 939 in 2021). This steady yet low-frequency trend underscores its appeal as a distinctive choice that marries technical rigor with cultural depth. Its referential nod to ceremonial duties remains purely nominal, sparing bearers any actual expectation of officiating family rituals.
