Hrishita is a feminine given name of Hindu origin, rooted in Sanskrit. The name stems from the root hṛṣ, which conveys the notion of joy or delight, and the suffix‑ita indicating a state or condition.
Historically, it has been used in Indian literature and religious texts to denote a person characterized by happiness. While it is not among the most common contemporary Indian names, it is recognized for its clear linguistic lineage and is occasionally chosen for its straightforward, positive literal meaning.
The name is primarily used in India and among the Hindu diaspora.
