Shruthi

Meaning of Shruthi

Shruthi is an elegant feminine name of Sanskrit origin—derived from the word śruti, meaning “that which is heard,” “musical pitch,” or “revealed knowledge” within the traditions of Vedic scripture and Indian classical music. Pronounced /ʃruːˈθi/, it carries a lyrical quality akin to a Sufi melody drifting through a Persian courtyard. In the United States, Shruthi has remained quietly rare—registering just six newborns in 2018 and consistently hovering around the 950th rank over the past decade—suggesting a steady, niche appreciation rather than a soaring trend. This statistical consistency mirrors the name’s own character: an analytical harmony of tradition and intellect rather than a flamboyant crescendo. Though its uncommon status might perplex teenage spelling bees, Shruthi appeals to parents seeking a name imbued with cultural depth, artistic resonance, and a subtle hint of exotic sophistication.
