Mishti meaning
Mishti (मिष्टी) is a Hindu girl's name of Bengali origin (from Sanskrit).
Sweet; dainty, delicate
Mishti (मिष्टी) is the Bengali word for sweet, also used for a sweetmeat, as in mishti doi, sweet curd. It comes from Sanskrit miṣṭa, which Monier-Williams defines as dainty, delicate or sweet, both literally and in the sense of pleasing, and as a noun a sweetmeat or dainty dish, citing the Mahabharata. Name lists give sweet, matching the source. Mishti began as an affectionate pet name in Bengali homes and is now also a given name. Mishthi and Misti are other spellings.
