Smriti is Sanskrit in Origin.

Smriti is the romanized form of Sanskrit स्मृति, transliterated smṛti, an abstract feminine noun in the earliest Sanskrit textual tradition. It is built on the verbal root √smṛ, to remember, with the suffix -ti, which forms action or state nouns. Its literal sense is memory, remembrance, or recollection; in learned usage it also denotes remembered tradition, especially knowledge transmitted outside the revealed Vedic corpus.

As a given name, Smriti is chiefly Indian and appears across Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Nepali, and other South Asian contexts, normally for girls. The religious term Smriti contrasts with Śruti, the heard revelation of the Vedas, and covers Dharmaśāstra, the epics, and Purāṇas in Hindu classification. Spellings such as Smruti and Smrithi reflect regional pronunciation and transliteration habits. Public bearers include politician Smriti Irani and cricketer Smriti Mandhana; in United States records it remains rare, with a small peak around 2010.
