Happiness, joy, or delight
Derived from the Persian and Hindi word for happiness, Khushi is a popular name in India and among the South Asian diaspora. It conveys a sense of cheerfulness and positivity, often chosen to celebrate the joy a new child brings to a family. While common in India, it remains a distinctive and rare choice in the United States.
