Meaning, etymology & significance
Sthuti (स्तुति) is the Sanskrit word for a hymn of praise — the formal, devotional poem offered to a deity in worship. From the root stu (to praise) the word names the very act of devotional speech. The Vedas themselves are largely composed of stutis — hymns to Indra, Agni, Mitra-Varuna, Ushas and many other devatas.
In Hindu liturgical practice every formal puja includes the recitation of stutis — the Lalita Sahasranama, the Vishnu Sahasranama, the Shri Suktam, the Saraswati Stuti, the Devi Stuti. The word names the very breath of devotion put into ordered speech.
To name a daughter Sthuti (or the more common Stuti) is therefore to name her as living praise — a continuous offering of devotional speech. The name carries equal weight in all Hindu traditions.
Pronunciation: STHOO-tee. The variant "Stuti" without the initial "h" is more common in current naming; both name the same Sanskrit word.
