Samadhi Origin and Meaning
The name Samadhi is a girl's name meaning "concentration".
In yoga, Samādhi is a state of meditative consciousness. It has a range of interpretations, but common definitions include a state of total absorption and self-connectedness. In Buddhism, it is one of the elements of the Noble Eightfold Path required to attain nirvana.
Samadhi first appeared on the US charts in 2004, and has seen a big increase in popularity from 2019 onwards — just when Bodhi hit the mainstream. Samadhi is proportionally more popular in the Southwestern US states, and it remains an appealing under-the-radar choice for enlightened parents.
