Shakti is from the Sanskrit शक्ति (Śakti — power, energy, capability, divine feminine cosmic energy). Shakti is one of the Sanskrit feminine names — central to traditional Hindu Shakta heritage. Sanskrit feminine name reflecting Hindu divine-feminine heritage.
Shakti does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Shakti reduce to 5, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
