Ashrita

Meaning of Ashrita

If you’re hunting for a name that feels both time-honored and delightfully under-the-radar, Ashrita (uh-SHREE-tuh) could be the treasure you’re after. Born from Sanskrit, it carries the gentle meaning of “one who is sheltered or protected,” wrapping baby in a comforting cloak of serenity from the very first breath. Though its ancient roots stretch back to classical India, the name has popped up in modern headlines via record-breaking enthusiast Ashrita Furman and Bollywood actress Ashrita Shetty, adding a dash of adventurous spirit and star power to the mix. In the United States, Ashrita has tiptoed across the Social Security charts—never cracking the top 900 and peaking with just eleven births in 2004—so your little one is almost guaranteed playground exclusivity. Think of it as the perfect blend of poetic heritage and contemporary sparkle: a name that whispers of safe harbors while inviting her to set sail on her own extraordinary journey.
