Samhitha is Sanskrit in Origin.
Samhitha is an Indian feminine given name derived from Sanskrit saṃhitā, meaning “collection,” “union,” or “that which is put together.” It comes from the prefix saṃ- “together” and the verbal root dhā “to place,” yielding the participle hita “placed; arranged.” In classical literature, Samhitā denotes the hymn collections of the Vedas (e.g., Ṛgveda Saṃhitā), so the name carries associations of harmony, order, and sacred knowledge.
As a personal name it gained broad use across South India and the Indian diaspora in the late 20th century, appreciated for its mellifluous sound and scholarly resonance. Common variants and transliterations include Samhita (most widespread), Samhitha (South Indian spelling), and Saṃhitā (IAST). Short forms such as Sam, Sami, and Hitha occur. The name is predominantly feminine but can be unisex in contemporary contexts, and appears in languages like Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Tamil.
