Dhania is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Dhania is an Indic feminine name with roots in Sanskrit. It connects to dhana, “wealth, prosperity,” giving the sense of “prosperous” or “richly endowed.” A parallel strand comes from dhānyaka, the Sanskrit word for coriander, which traveled into modern Hindi as dhaniyā/dhania; the herb’s freshness and auspicious culinary role lend the name a nature-tinged, bountiful nuance.

Usage is most common in North and West India (Hindi- and Gujarati-speaking communities) and among the diaspora, with occasional appearance in other South and Southeast Asian contexts influenced by Sanskritic vocabulary. Variants and related forms include Dhaniya (reflecting the -yā ending), Dhanya (“blessed, fortunate”), Dhanika (also “wealthy; merchant” in classical Sanskrit), and the nickname Dhani. While not frequent in classical literature as a given name, Dhania today feels both traditional and down‑to‑earth, balancing ideas of prosperity with the gentle imagery of a fragrant herb.
