Swastika is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Swastika is a Sanskrit-derived feminine given name meaning “auspicious sign,” from svastika (स्वस्तिक), built on su “good, well” + asti “to be,” with the suffix -ka. It literally conveys “that which brings well-being” or “conducive to good fortune.” Rooted in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain traditions, the term and symbol long signified blessing and prosperity; as a personal name it appears across Hindi, Bengali, Assamese, Nepali, Marathi, and Odia communities.
Attested for centuries in South Asia as both sacred vocabulary and a given name, Swastika today is borne mainly by women in India and Nepal. Scholarly transliteration is Svastika; contemporary spellings include Swasthika. Related variants are the short form Swasti and the masculine Swastik/Svastik. Because the symbol was appropriated by the Nazi regime in the 20th century, the name may be misunderstood in Western settings, despite its much older, positive connotations of health, prosperity, and auspicious beginnings.
