Other spellings include Niteen and Nittin, while related but distinct cognates are Nitish/Nitesh (from nīti + īśa). The name is used across Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Punjabi, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Tamil.

As a given name it rose in the mid to late 20th century with a preference for Sanskrit-derived choices in urban India. The double-i spelling Nithiin reflects numerology- or branding-inspired respellings in contemporary South Asia, popularized by Telugu cinema; a notable bearer is actor Nithiin (born Nithin Kumar Reddy). The name signals rectitude, prudence, and capable leadership.
