Fate, destiny, or fortune
Derived from the Sanskrit word for 'destiny' or 'the fixed order of things,' Niyathi represents the concept of an inevitable path or divine law. In Hindu philosophy, it refers to the power that governs the universe and ensures cosmic order. It is a rare choice in the United States, often selected by parents seeking a name with deep spiritual and philosophical roots.
