Naitik meaning
Naitik (नैतिक) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Hindi formation).
Relating to nīti: right conduct, moral wisdom
Also used to mean: ethical
Naitik (नैतिक) is the everyday Hindi word for "moral" or "ethical". It is formed from Sanskrit nīti, which Monier-Williams explains first as guidance or direction, and then as right or wise conduct, prudence, policy and moral philosophy. The adjective itself is a later formation that the old Sanskrit dictionaries do not list, but its sense follows plainly from the root. Name lists give Naitik as "moral" or "ethical", which matches. It is used for boys, and Naitika is the girls' form.
