Simriti is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Simriti is a modern South Asian feminine given name from Sanskrit Smṛti (स्मृति), literally “memory” or “that which is remembered,” from the verbal root smṛ “to remember.” In Hindu thought Smṛti designates the body of remembered tradition - law codes, epics, and ethics - complementing Śruti (“that which is heard”). As a personal name it evokes mindfulness, cultural continuity, and wise counsel.

Use as a given name spread in the late 20th century across India and Nepal and among the diaspora, aided by increased engagement with classical Sanskrit terms and by media figures named Smriti. Simriti is a phonetic respelling that breaks the consonant cluster smṛ for easier pronunciation; it appears in Nepali and Hindi-speaking communities. Common variants include Smriti, Smrithi/Smruthi (southern India), Smruti (western India), Smreeti, and Samriti; related masculine form Smaran (“remembrance”) shares the root. The name is predominantly feminine.
