Karishma is Persian in Origin.
Karishma is a modern South Asian feminine name rooted in Persian kereshmeh/karishma, carried into Urdu and Hindi, where karishma means “miracle, marvel, wonder.” It can also imply “charm” or “grace,” echoing Persian poetic usage. Written as करिश्मा in Devanagari and کرشمہ in Urdu, the name is favored for its uplifting sense of a remarkable or divinely gifted event.
Though not a classical Sanskrit personal name, it entered wide use across India, Pakistan, and Nepal in the late 20th century, spreading further with the diaspora. Popular culture, especially Hindi cinema, helped normalize it as a fashionable yet meaningful choice. Common variants and spellings include Karisma (notably borne by actress Karisma Kapoor), Karyshma, and Karishmaa; diminutives like Kari also occur. The name remains cross‑community and contemporary, prized for its bright sound and auspicious meaning.
