Anadi meaning
Anadi (अनादि) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Having no beginning, existing from eternity
Also used to mean: eternal, without beginning
Anadi (अनादि) is Sanskrit anādi, formed from an-, "without", and ādi, "beginning". Monier-Williams gives having no beginning and existing from eternity. The word is used in Hindu philosophy for whatever has always existed, such as the ultimate reality. Baby-name lists give the name as "eternal" or "without beginning", matching the dictionary. It sits naturally beside the names Aadi, "the beginning", and Anant, "endless".
