Snehithi is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Snehithi is a feminine Indian given name from Sanskrit sneha, “affection, tenderness, love,” derived from the root snih-, “to be attached, to love.” In classical usage, snehita/snehitā means “dear” or “befriended.” The South Indian form Snehithi reflects regional transliteration (notably Telugu and Kannada) preserving the aspirated -th- and a feminine -i. The name conveys “affectionate one” or “beloved friend,” echoing Sanskrit’s metaphor of sneha as both warmth and nurturing oil.

Used chiefly since the late 20th century, Snehithi fits the modern Indian trend for virtue and relationship names and is found across South India and the diaspora. Variants include Snehitha, Snehita, and Snehithy; related forms are Sneha and the masculine Snehith/Snehit. Common nicknames: Sneha, Snehi. Spelling differences reflect regional scripts rather than changes in meaning.
