Srusti is Sanskrit in Origin.

Srusti is a feminine Indian name from Sanskrit sṛṣṭi (सृष्टि), meaning “creation,” “bringing forth,” or “the manifested world.” It derives from the verbal root sṛj, “to let go, release, create,” evoking ideas of origin, creativity, and new beginnings. In Hindu cosmology, sṛṣṭi forms the first part of the cycle sṛṣṭi–sthiti–laya (creation, preservation, dissolution), linking the name to the universe’s creative impulse and, by extension, to deities associated with creation and generative power.

As a given name, Srusti gained modern popularity across India and the diaspora in the late 20th century, especially among speakers of Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Odia, and Kannada. Common variants include Srishti, Sristi, Srushti, and Shristi; spelling often follows regional pronunciation and transliteration choices. The name’s positive, aspirational meaning makes it a favorite for parents seeking a culturally rooted yet contemporary-sounding choice that suggests imagination, renewal, and vitality.
