Meaning, etymology & significance
Swasti (स्वस्ति) is one of the most ancient Sanskrit words — a Vedic exclamation of well-wishing that opens many Vedic hymns and is built from su (good) + asti (it is). The literal sense is "well-being, may all be well, the auspicious." Every traditional Hindu ritual ends with the svasti-vacana — the formal blessing of well-being.
The closely related svastika is the ancient auspicious symbol that gives the symbol its name (long predating its 20th-century European misuse). In Sanskrit and Vedic usage svasti is purely the word of blessing — the wish for the cosmic well-being of all beings.
A daughter named Swasti is therefore named after this most ancient blessing. The name is unmistakably Vedic.
Pronunciation: SVAS-tee. Pair with classical Brahmanic-Vedic surnames.
Astrology — nakshatra & rashi
