Nidhi is the Sanskrit word for a treasure, particularly the hidden kind, the buried hoard or the inner reserve of wealth attributed to Kubera and Lakshmi in Hindu iconography. The idea of a child as a quiet fortune sits neatly inside the sound. Rendered निधि, the two syllables are both short and soft, NID-hee, nothing exaggerated. Common across North India from the 1980s onward, it remains a popular choice in Indian and diaspora households, and appears only sporadically in English-speaking countries. Nidhi is a small, contained word with an abundant idea folded inside it.
