Anishi is Hindi in Origin.
Anishi is a modern South Asian given name, most plausibly built on Sanskrit isha/ish ("lord, ruler, the divine") with the privative an- ("without, beyond"), yielding senses such as "sovereign," "independent," or "beyond compare." In practice it functions as a feminine elaboration of Anish/Aneesh and a sister form of Anisha, with the -i ending common in Hindi, Marathi, and Gujarati pet-names that become stand-alone. Some families also hear a blend with Nishi ("night") and read Anishi as "endless light," though this is a poetic folk etymology.
Use is recent, rising across India and the diaspora since the late 20th century, especially in Hindu communities where isha evokes the divine (sometimes linked to Vishnu or Krishna). Variants and related forms include Aneeshi, Anishee; Anish, Aneesh (m.), Anisha/Aneesha (f.). Nicknames: Ani, Nishi. The name remains uncommon, stylish, and pan-Indian.
