Nidhi meaning
Nidhi (निधि) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
A store, hoard, treasure; a receptacle
Nidhi (निधि) is Sanskrit nidhi, formed from ni-dhā, "to put down, to lay up". Monier-Williams gives a receptacle or place for deposits, and then a store, hoard or treasure. Poets call the ocean a nidhi of waters and the full moon a nidhi of its digits, because each holds something precious. In later mythology the nidhis are the nine treasures of Kubera, the god of wealth, sometimes pictured as attendants of Kubera or of Lakshmi. Name lists give the same meaning, "treasure", so the popular and dictionary senses agree. The name is short, has a single clear meaning and is spelled the same way in every Indian script.
