Tithi meaning
Tithi (तिथि) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
A lunar day, one of the thirty days of a lunar month
Also used to mean: date
Tithi (तिथि) is the Sanskrit word for a lunar day. Monier-Williams explains that a lunar month is divided into thirty tithis, fifteen while the moon waxes and fifteen while it wanes, and that several are counted as especially auspicious. Hindu festivals and family rites are still fixed by tithi, which is why the word is also the everyday Hindi word for a date. Name lists give Tithi as "lunar day" or "date", matching the dictionary. The name is short and easy to say in every Indian language.
