Niket, of Sanskrit origin, signifies 'victory' or 'achievement.' This unisex given name is popular among South Asian communities, particularly in India and Nepal, where it's often bestowed upon children with the hope they'll live up to its victorious connotation.
Niket saw a spike in popularity between 1998 and 2009, with six births each year during those periods. However, it was not as prevalent in 1986, with only five births recorded that year. Altogether, there have been 23 babies named Niket since 1986.
