Meaning & background
(DIP-tee): Sanskrit, meaning brightness or splendor. Sometimes spelled Deepti. Fair warning: English speakers often hesitate on the spelling. Stateside, it was first recorded in 1970. These days it lands below the top 1,000, so it still feels distinctive. Only about 11 children have carried it, making it genuinely rare.
