Artha is Sanskrit in Origin.
Artha derives from Sanskrit artha (अर्थ), encompassing “meaning, purpose, aim” and “wealth, prosperity.” In Hindu thought it names one of the four puruṣārthas - life’s legitimate goals - alongside dharma, kāma, and moksha, lending the given name a blend of material success and purposeful intent. The word is widespread across Indo‑Aryan and Dravidian languages via Sanskrit, and appears in classical compounds (e.g., Arthashastra, Arthapati).
As a personal name, Artha is used in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and among the diaspora, and also in Indonesia/Bali through Sanskritic influence. It is typically unisex, though more common for boys. Variants and related forms include Arth (North Indian short form), Aartha/Arthaa (phonetic spellings), and Indonesian/Balinese Arta; feminine elaborations such as Arthika occur regionally. The name’s core meaning centers on prosperity and purposeful intention, making it a popular modern choice with venerable philosophical roots.
Artha is rarely chosen. We have only 111 recorded uses of it on record, from 23 countries.
