Kirti is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Kirti is a Sanskrit-derived given name from kīrti (कीर्ति), meaning “fame, glory, renown,” ultimately tied to the verbal root kīrt- “to praise, celebrate.” Used across the Indian subcontinent, it appears in Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Nepali, and South Indian languages. Common transliterations include Kirti, Keerti, Keerthi, Kirthi, Kirtee, and Keerthy. The name is unisex but trends feminine in contemporary usage, while remaining familiar for men in compounds and regional traditions.
In classical Sanskrit literature and inscriptions, kīrti denotes the honor earned by virtuous deeds and is associated with auspicious reputation. It features in royal and devotional contexts and forms part of compounds such as Kirtivarman, Kirtidevi, and Kirtinidhi. The related term kirtan (kīrtana), “devotional praise,” reinforces its positive connotations. Kirti gained pan-Indian appeal in the 20th century and remains popular in India and Nepal. Note: Kirti is distinct from Kriti (“creation, composition”), though they are sometimes conflated in English.
