Meaning and origin of Aditi
Aditi is a Sanskrit name that means “boundless, free”.
In Sanskrit, Aditi means 'boundless' or 'free'. In the Vedic tradition, Aditi is a goddess who personifies the infinite and is the mother of the Adityas, a group of celestial deities. The name is widely used in India and among the diaspora and has a gentle, graceful sound. Aditi is easy for English speakers to pronounce, with the stress on the first syllable. Adi is a common nickname. It pairs gracefully with many middle names.
Popularity over time
Aditi first appears in US Social Security records in 1977. It has never ranked in the national top 1,000, which keeps it genuinely uncommon. Its best national rank was #1,146 in 2009, the same year it reached its highest count of 221 babies. In 2025, 63 babies were named Aditi, and it ranked #2,719 nationally. That is 39% fewer than ten years earlier, so it is becoming less common.
Its national rank moved from #9,099 in 1980, #2,103 in 2000, #1,244 in 2010, and #2,719 in 2025. Of the 3,712 US girls named Aditi since records began, 38% were born in the 2010s, its biggest decade. The 2000s come next, with 1,383 babies.
Other girls' names that peaked around the same time include Rileigh, Nariah, Alanah, Analise, and Makaylah.
