Nidhi is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Nidhi is a feminine given name of Sanskrit origin (निधि, nidhi), meaning “treasure, hoard, repository of wealth,” and by extension “precious; store of virtues.” In Hindu mythology, the Navanidhi are the nine treasures associated with Kubera, god of riches; Jain literature also uses nidhi for auspicious treasures. The term appears in classical Sanskrit and Puranic texts, often in compounds like dhanānidhi (“treasure of wealth”) used honorifically for patrons and deities.

As a personal name, Nidhi gained broad popularity across modern India from the late 20th century and is borne by speakers of Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Marathi, and other languages; usage is chiefly feminine, though occasionally unisex. Variants and spellings include Niddhi/Nidhhi (geminated), Nithi (South Indian transliteration), and the rarer Nidi. Related forms and compounds include Nidhish/Nidheesh (“lord of treasure”) and Dhananidhi; cognate ideas appear in names like Ratna and Dhanya.
