Hitaishi meaning
Hitaishi (हितैषी) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Well-wishing, seeking the welfare of others
Also used to mean: well-wisher
Hitaishi (हितैषी) is the Sanskrit hitaiṣin, written hitaiṣī in its common form, from hita, "welfare, good", and eṣin, "seeking". Monier-Williams gives it as well-disposed, one who wishes well to others or seeks their welfare. The word is still everyday Hindi for a well-wisher or benefactor, which makes the name easy to understand. Name lists give Hitaishi as "well-wisher", which matches the dictionary. It is used mainly in Gujarat and North India.
