Ahuti (आहुति, IAST: āhuti) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “Sacrificial offering; the ghee poured into Agni”. The Sanskrit word for the ghee-offering poured into the Vedic sacrificial fire.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Ahuti (आहुति) is the Sanskrit word for the offering poured into the sacrificial fire — the ghee, clarified butter, sesame, or other oblation given to Agni in Vedic yajna. The literal sense is "the poured offering."
In Vedic ritual every mantra is accompanied by an āhuti — the act of physical surrender that completes the chant. The word therefore names the very heart of yajna-tradition.
A daughter named Ahuti is therefore named after this central Vedic act of surrender.
Pronunciation: AA-hu-tee. Pair with classical-Brahmanic surnames where the Vedic-yajna depth is welcome.
