Shakti is Sanskrit in Origin.
Shakti is a Sanskrit name (Devanagari: शक्ति) meaning “power, energy, capacity,” from the root śak- “to be able.” In Hindu philosophy it denotes the primordial, dynamic force of the universe and the divine feminine, personified as the Great Goddess and manifested as Parvati, Durga, and Kali. The name thus carries connotations of vitality, creativity, protection, and auspicious potency.
As a given name, Shakti is used across India, Nepal, and the broader South Asian diaspora, including Shakta traditions; while predominantly feminine, it is also unisex in some communities and devotional contexts. Common variants and transliterations include Shakthi, Sakti, and Sakthi; regional scripts render it as শক্তি (Bengali), சக்தி (Tamil), and శక్తి (Telugu). Related forms and compounds include Adi Shakti, Mahashakti, Parashakti, and Shivashakti.
