Meaning & Origin
A male given name.
Krish is a boy's and girl's baby name of Sanskrit origin, a short form of Krishna, meaning 'dark' or 'blue,' referring to the beloved Hindu deity associated with joy, love, and cosmic play. The name holds deep spiritual significance in Hindu tradition.
As South Asian families in the US embrace both heritage and integration, Krish offers an accessible form that works equally well in Mumbai and Minneapolis. It's short, strong, and carries the weight of one of Hinduism's most celebrated figures.
