Arundhathy is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Arundhathy is a South Asian feminine name of Sanskrit origin, from Arundhatī (अरुन्धती). Etymologically it is often parsed from the root rundh “to obstruct” with the privative prefix a-, yielding senses like “unobstructed,” “not to be restrained,” and by extension “steadfast.” In classical and popular usage it is also linked to a star in Ursa Major, since Arundhatī names Alcor, paired with Vasiṣṭha (Mizar).

Revered in Hindu literature as the virtuous wife of the sage Vasiṣṭha, Arundhatī embodies fidelity and wisdom; the Arundhatī–Vasiṣṭha star pair is shown to newlyweds in many regions, which sustains the name’s auspicious status. The spelling Arundhathy reflects regional transliteration, especially in Dravidian-language contexts. Common variants include Arundhati (standard), Arundathi, Arundhathi, Arundhuti, and Arundhatee. The name appears across Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Odia, Assamese, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam traditions.
