Anamitra is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Anamitra is a Sanskrit name built from the negative prefix an- plus amitra “enemy,” yielding the sense “not an enemy,” hence “friend to all,” “one without foes,” or “harmless/benign.” By association with Mitra - the Vedic deity of friendship and a solar Aditya - the name can also carry overtones of concord, reliability, and luminous goodwill. It is used for all genders, though it skews masculine in many regions.

Textual tradition preserves Anamitra in the Yadava–Vrishni genealogy: sources list him as a son of Vrishni and father of Sini, making him an ancestor of the Mahabharata hero Satyaki (Yuyudhāna). Contemporary use is pan‑Indian among Sanskritic names, especially in Hindu families that favor virtue- or relation-based meanings. Variants and spellings include Anamithra (South Indian transliteration), Anamitraa (feminine), and Anmitra; related names are Mitra and Sumitra (“good friend”). Diminutives often include Ana, Ani, and Mitra.
