Sakti

Sakti (also spelled Shakti) is a fundamental concept in Hinduism, referring to the cosmic energy that underlies all divine creation, maintenance, and destruction. It is often personified as the Divine Mother or Devi, the supreme goddess. The term itself derives from the Sanskrit root 'shak', meaning 'to be able', thus conveying the idea of power and capability. While primarily a theological concept, it has been adopted as a personal name, reflecting its profound spiritual significance.

As a name, Sakti is used in various parts of India and among Hindu communities globally. Its unisex nature stems from the fact that 'shakti' as a concept is both a universal force and can be embodied by both male and female deities, though it is most strongly associated with the feminine principle. The name carries connotations of inner strength, vitality, and divine connection.
