Happiness, joy, or pleasure
Derived from the Sanskrit word 'Khushi', this name signifies a state of delight or happiness. It is a popular choice in India and among the South Asian diaspora, often chosen to reflect the joy a new child brings to a family. While traditionally spelled with an 'h', the 'Kushi' variant is a common phonetic simplification.
