Adhik

Adhik is a masculine given name of Indian origin. The name is derived from the Sanskrit root adhik-, which conveys the sense of “more,” “greater,” or “additional.” In Hindi the word adhik means “more” or “extra,” a meaning that informs the use of the name in some communities. As a result, Adhik is often chosen for its positive associations with improvement, abundance, or superiority.

The name is used across several Indian languages and communities, including Hindi, Marathi, and Nepali, with pronunciation adapted to local phonology. It can be given as a standalone name or appear as part of compound names in traditional Indian naming practices. Because it stems from a common Sanskrit root, Adhik shares linguistic connections with related terms and other names built from the same morpheme.

In contemporary usage, Adhik appears among the Indian diaspora and in multilingual urban environments around the world. Like many Indian given names, its selection reflects cultural and familial preferences rather than a single regional origin. There is no single figure universally associated with the name Adhik, but it remains one of several Sanskrit-derived masculine names in current use, maintaining a presence in personal naming traditions. See also adhik and related terms such as adhikāra and adhika, which illustrate the broader semantic field of the root.
