Ridhvi is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Ridhvi is a modern Indian feminine name deriving from Sanskrit ṛddhi (ऋद्धि), “prosperity, growth, success,” from the verbal root ṛdh/ṛddh “to increase, thrive.” In Hindu tradition Riddhi personifies abundance as one of the consorts of Ganesha, and the cognate Pali form iddhi denotes spiritual attainments in Buddhist literature, underscoring the term’s auspicious and powerful associations.

Used mainly since the late 20th century, Ridhvi adapts the classical Riddhi with the -vi ending as a stylish phonetic variant. Common spellings and related forms include Riddhi, Ridhi, Ridhvee, Riddhvi, and elaborations such as Riddhika or Ridhvika; all keep the core sense of prosperity and accomplishment. It is borne predominantly by girls across India and the diaspora, chosen for its positive meaning, soft cadence, and pan-Indic familiarity. Not to be confused with Ritvi/Rithvi (from ṛtvik, “priest”), which has a separate origin.
