Riddhika is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Riddhika is a feminine Indian name drawn from Sanskrit ṛddhi, meaning “prosperity, success, growth,” and in classical thought also “supernormal power.” The -ikā ending forms a feminine noun/adjective, yielding “one endowed with prosperity” or “connected with abundance”; common glosses include “prosperous one” or “bringer of prosperity.” It is pronounced RID-dhee-ka and written ऋद्धिका in Hindi/Sanskrit. The name’s auspicious tone is strengthened by its link to Riddhi, the prosperity goddess and consort of Ganesha.

Though the root is ancient, Riddhika’s use as a personal name is chiefly modern, rising across Hindi-, Marathi-, Bengali-, and Gujarati-speaking communities and the Indian diaspora since the late 20th century. Common variants include Ridhika, Riddika, and Ridika; related forms are Riddhi and Riddhima. Buddhist and Jain senses of ṛddhi as “attainment” add a note of capability and accomplishment.
