Prapti meaning
Prapti (प्राप्ति) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Attainment, gain; the power of obtaining anything
Also used to mean: achievement
Prapti (प्राप्ति) comes from the Sanskrit verb pra-āp, "to reach, to obtain". Monier-Williams gives attainment, acquisition, gain or meeting with, and records prāpti as one of the eight superhuman powers of yoga, the power to obtain anything one wishes. In the epics it is a personal name too: the Mahabharata gives Prāpti as the wife of Śama, and the Harivaṃśa and Purāṇas as a daughter of King Jarāsandha. Name lists give "attainment" or "achievement", in line with the dictionary. The name is used in Gujarat.
