Niketan

Niketan is a word of Sanskrit origin, commonly used as a given name, particularly in India and other regions influenced by Indian culture. It translates roughly to "house," "abode," "dwelling," or "residence." The term often carries connotations of home, family, and belonging.

Beyond its literal meaning, Niketan can also be used figuratively to represent a center, a gathering place, or a source of something, such as knowledge or creativity. In some contexts, it may evoke a sense of peace, comfort, and security associated with the idea of home.

The word's cultural significance is derived from the importance placed on home and family in many South Asian societies. As a given name, Niketan is often chosen with the hope that the individual will embody the qualities of a welcoming and supportive presence.
