Prity

Prity is a name that appears in several contexts, primarily as a feminine given name in South Asia and among diaspora communities. It may also be found as a surname or as the name of a fictional place in some works. The term has no single, universally recognized definition.

Etymology and variants: Prity is commonly considered a transliteration variant of the Sanskrit name priti, meaning affection, love, or happiness. Spelling variants include Priti, Preeti, and Prithi; the choice depends on regional language scripts and family preference. As a result, Prity does not reflect a distinct linguistic root apart from priti.

Usage as a given name: In India, Nepal, and among the Indian diaspora, Prity is used as a feminine given name. It is typically chosen for its positive meaning and simple pronunciation. The name may appear in combination with other elements in longer names.

Other uses and cultural presence: Outside personal names, Prity has limited, localized usage as a place name or character name in fictional works. There is no widely cited historical or cultural institution tied to the term, and references are generally confined to individual authors or communities.
