Hrithik meaning
Hrithik (ऋतिक) is a Hindu boy's name.
Meaning today
From the heart
In the dictionaries
The name isn't in the classical dictionaries we use, so it is most likely a modern name. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Hrithik is a modern Indian boys' name; a well-known bearer is the actor Hrithik Roshan. Baby-name lists usually give it as "from the heart", tying it to Sanskrit hṛd, the heart as the seat of feeling, which Monier-Williams records. However, the name itself is not a word in the Sanskrit dictionaries, and the spelling is unsettled: name lists often write it हृतिक, which would fit hṛd, while Hrithik Roshan writes his name ऋतिक, which would not. We have therefore not given a dictionary meaning. Families who choose the name today generally intend "from the heart". Hritik and Rithik are other spellings.
