From Sanskrit aditi (अदिति), 'boundless, free, unlimited'. In the Vedas Aditi is the mother of the gods (Adityas) and goddess of the infinite sky. A goddess name.
A modern name usually traced to Sanskrit for 'beloved, dear'. It is also widely glossed 'God's gift' and linked to Lakshmi, but that reading is popular rather than documented and its Sanskrit basis is unsettled (an Arabic 'gift' root is also cited).
Aditi is more popular than Prisha today: about 63 US babies were given the name Aditi in 2025, compared with 0 named Prisha.
Aditi means boundless, limitless (sanskrit origin), while Prisha means beloved, dear one (sanskrit origin).
In US records, Aditi first appears in 1977 and Prisha in 0, so Prisha has the longer recorded history.
