Dharmik (धार्मिक) is the Sanskrit dhārmika, the adjective from dharma, "law, right, duty". Monier-Williams gives it as righteous, virtuous, pious and just, and as resting on what is right, said of a person's mind or words. In modern Hindi and Gujarati dharmik is the everyday word for "religious", and Indian name lists give "righteous", "virtuous" or "religious". As a boy's name it is used in Gujarat. Note that the Sanskrit spelling has a long vowel, dhārmika, which is why it is written धार्मिक.
