What is the meaning of the name Aarti ?

The baby name Aarti is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced AHR-tee.

Aarti is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

The feminine name Aarti is the North Indian spelling of Hindi आरती ārtī, a devotional noun ultimately traced to Sanskrit ārātrika, the earlier form for the rite of waving lamps before a deity. The Sanskrit word is built on rātri, night, with prefixal ā- and suffix -ika; liturgical explanation understands it as a light-offering that dispels darkness. As a personal name, its literal sense is lamp offering or worship.

In naming, Aarti is most at home among Hindu families in India and the diaspora, especially where Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali, or related languages shape devotional vocabulary. It is not a mythological figure’s name, but a ritual noun adopted as a feminine given name. Transliteration accounts for Arti and Arati; South Indian English usage often shows Aarthi, Aarathi, or Arathi. Modern visibility includes Phani Majumdar’s 1962 Hindi film Aarti, whose protagonist was Aarti Gupta.
