History & Origin

Adhrit is a modern Indian name drawn from Sanskrit, commonly glossed 'one who is held with respect/esteem' or 'the supporter, sustainer' (from a root for holding firm). Part of the recent wave of Sanskrit-style coinages; its precise classical standing is debated, so we present the gloss honestly.
