Common variants and transliterations include Amravati, Amaravathi (Telugu/Tamil), Amrawati/Amarawati (Hindi/Sinhala), and the diacritic form Amarāvati; related toponyms exist in Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra.

The name appears in epic and Purāṇic sources and is prominent in Buddhism via the great Amaravati stupa and the influential Amaravati School of sculpture (c. 2nd century BCE–3rd century CE). As a given name it sees modern use in South Asia and the diaspora, valued for its auspicious, celestial imagery and classical resonance.
