Saket is Sanskrit in Origin.

Saket is a masculine given name from Sanskrit Sāketa, an ancient epithet of Ayodhya, the legendary capital of the Kosala kingdom and the birthplace of Rama. In Hindu tradition Sāketa evokes the "abode" or celestial city of Rama, so the name carries connotations of home, sanctity, and bliss; some modern glosses render it as "heaven" or "holy dwelling." The term appears in classical Sanskrit literature and in Pali sources for a nearby city visited by the Buddha, fixing it in North Indian sacred geography.

As a personal name, Saket gained currency among Hindi speakers through devotional poetry and later through Maithili Sharan Gupt’s celebrated 1931 epic Saket. Today it is used across India and the diaspora. Variants and spellings include Sāketa (IAST), Saketa, Saaket, and Saketh (common in South India). The name is typically masculine, though rare unisex use occurs.
