History & Origin

Sahiti is a Telugu given name from the Sanskrit sahitya, 'literature,' and it belongs to a family of names South Indian parents choose to evoke knowledge and the arts. Often spelled Sahithi, it entered US Social Security records with Telugu-speaking immigrant families around the turn of the twenty-first century, always a heritage name rather than an American coinage.

It was never common in the United States, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its peak around 2003. A girl named Sahiti then is in her early twenties today.

Did you know? Sahiti comes from the Sanskrit sahitya, the very word for 'literature' - a name that quietly honors reading, writing, and learning.
