Sarthak is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Sarthak is a masculine given name from Sanskrit sārthaka (सार्थक), formed from sa- ‘with’ + artha ‘purpose, meaning, prosperity,’ plus the suffix -ka. In classical usage it describes something ‘meaningful, effective, fruitful,’ and by extension ‘accomplished’ or ‘successful.’ The word became a positive virtue-name in modern Indian languages such as Hindi, Marathi, and Nepali, where it connotes a life of purpose and results.

Attested for centuries in Sanskrit literature as an adjective (e.g., sārthaka-vākya, ‘a meaningful utterance’), it gained currency as a given name in the late 20th century amid renewed interest in Sanskritic, value-driven names. Variants include Saarthak (to mark the long initial vowel), the scholarly transliteration Sārthaka, Bengali Sarthok, and the feminine Sarthika/Sārthikā. Across regions, Sarthak is chosen for the aspirational meaning ‘one whose deeds are meaningful and successful.’
