Census
Adithi in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 475 people with the first name Adithi, which placed it at #21,400 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Adithi is Asian/Pacific Islander at 97.3%. The next largest groups are White (1.1%) and Black (0.6%).

The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Adithi described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Adithi at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Adithi
The name Adithi is of Indian origin and has its roots in Sanskrit, an ancient language that was the literary language of the Indian subcontinent. The name Adithi is derived from the Sanskrit word "Aditi," which means "unlimited," "boundless," or "free." Aditi is also the name of a Vedic goddess, who is revered as the mother of the Adityas, a group of solar deities in Hindu mythology.
In Hindu scriptures, Aditi is celebrated as the mother of gods and as a symbol of cosmic energy and the infinite expanse of the universe. She is often associated with fertility, prosperity, and abundance. The name Adithi, therefore, carries a rich cultural and spiritual significance, evoking notions of boundlessness, freedom, and divine grace.
The earliest recorded use of the name Adithi can be traced back to ancient Sanskrit texts, such as the Vedas and the Upanishads, which date back to around the 2nd millennium BCE. However, it is difficult to pinpoint the exact time when the name Adithi first appeared in written records, as many ancient texts have been lost or have survived only in fragments.
Throughout history, there have been several notable individuals who bore the name Adithi. One of the earliest recorded figures was Adithi, a renowned scholar and philosopher who lived in the 6th century CE in India. She was known for her expertise in Vedic literature and her contributions to the field of philosophy.
Another notable figure was Adithi Devi, a 12th-century queen of the Chahamana dynasty in Rajasthan, India. She was known for her patronage of the arts and her support for the construction of temples and other architectural marvels.
In more recent times, Adithi Rao Hydari is an Indian actress and singer who has appeared in numerous Bollywood films and television shows. She was born in 1986 and has received critical acclaim for her performances in films such as "Bhoomi" and "Padmaavat."
Adithi Ashok is an Indian writer and journalist who has authored several books and articles on topics ranging from politics to gender studies. She was born in 1981 and has been recognized for her contributions to the field of journalism and literature.

FAQ
Adithi: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Adithi?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 462 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Adithi going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 741,893 US residents.
Is Adithi a common name?
We classify Adithi as "Very Rare". It ranks above 83.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 467 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Adithi most popular?
The single biggest year for Adithi was 2009, when 33 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Adithi is about 14 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Adithi in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 475 people with the name Adithi, or 0.16 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #21,400 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Adithi in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Adithi?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Adithi appears almost entirely female. Of the 483 people counted with this name, 99.4% were female and only a very small share were male. The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Adithi?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Adithi is Asian/Pacific Islander at 97.3%. The next largest groups are White (1.1%) and Black (0.6%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Adithi most often in the Census?
Asian/Pacific Islander is the largest reported group for people named Adithi in the 2020 Census, accounting for 97.3% (462 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Adithi in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Adithi a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Adithi in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Adithi still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Adithi in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Adithi can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
