Artha, of Sanskrit origin, signifies 'wealth' or 'prosperity'. It is a unisex name, although more commonly used for females. The name is composed of two parts: 'arth', meaning 'wealth', and 'a', which denotes a feminine prefix. Artha is found in various Hindu texts, such as the Mahabharata and Bhagavad Gita, where it symbolizes one of the four proper goals or puruṣārthas of human life. The name carries a profound cultural significance within Indian tradition, embodying abundance, fortune, and well-being.
The name Artha had a fluctuating popularity over the years, with noticeable spikes and valleys. The highest number of births recorded was 23 in 1922, while the lowest was just 2 in 1906 (no data available for 1901-1903).
