Vrishti meaning
Vrishti (वृष्टि) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Rain; a shower
Vrishti (वृष्टि) is the Sanskrit word vṛṣṭi, "rain", from the verb vṛṣ, "to rain, to shower". Monier-Williams gives it as rain and, in compounds, as a shower of anything, so puṣpa-vṛṣṭi is a shower of flowers, the classic sign of the gods' favour in the epics. Name lists explain Vrishti simply as "rain". The name is used in Gujarat and Maharashtra, where it is often spelled Vrushti.
