What is the meaning of the name Kriti ?

The baby name Kriti is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced KRIT-ee (IPA: /ˈkrɪti/); sometimes KREE-tee (/ˈkriːti/).

Kriti is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Kriti is a feminine given name from Sanskrit kṛti (कृति), “creation, artistic work, composition,” rooted in kṛ, “to do/make.” It conveys ideas of craftsmanship, originality, and accomplishment in literature or art. Common variants include Krithi (South Indian spelling), Kruti (especially in Gujarati/Marathi contexts), Kritee, and Kreeti. It is distinct from Kirti/Keerthi (कीर्ति), which means “fame, renown.”

As a cultural term, kriti denotes the central composed song-form of Carnatic music, shaped by the 18th–19th-century Trinity - Tyāgarāja, Muthuswami Dikshitar, and Syama Sastri - and earlier attested in Sanskrit aesthetics as “a work.” Adoption as a personal name expanded in the late 20th century across India and the diaspora, with visibility from film and arts figures such as actors Kriti Sanon and Kriti Kharbanda. Today the name is used nationwide, pronounced KREE-tee, and favored for its elegant, creative resonance.
