Samhita is a female name of Indian origin, meaning "Code." It is derived from the Sanskrit word "Saṃhitā," which translates to "put together, joined, union," and refers to a methodical, rule-based combination of text or verses. In Hindu tradition, Samhita also denotes the most ancient layer of text in the Vedas, consisting of mantras, hymns, prayers, litanies, and benedictions. The Vedic Samhitas, which are the oldest living part of Hindu tradition, were chanted during ceremonies and rituals. This name carries a deep cultural and spiritual significance, symbolizing the union and arrangement of sacred texts.
