Karishmah is a modern spelling of Karishma, a feminine given name used across Hindi and Urdu. The word descends from Persian kereshmeh/karishma (Urdu: کرشمہ), a poetic term for “charm, marvel, or miracle,” and by extension “a wondrous act.” Through literary Urdu and Hindustani it came to denote a delightful or extraordinary occurrence, which informs the name’s sense of “miracle” or “wonder.”

As a personal name it rose to broad popularity in South Asia in the late 20th century, adopted by Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, and diaspora families alike; media visibility helped cement its appeal. Variant forms include Karishma, Karisma, Karismah, Karyshma, and Carisma; related but etymologically separate is English Charisma. Nicknames include Kari and Rishma. The “h” in Karishmah is chiefly stylistic, preserving pronunciation as kuh-RISH-ma.
