Dharmi is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Dharmi (धर्मी) stems from Sanskrit dharma, “moral order, duty, right conduct”; the adjective dharmī means “righteous” or “one who upholds dharma.” As a given name, Dharmi conveys piety, integrity, and principled living, appealing across Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist communities influenced by the dharma concept. Classical texts and epics use dharmi (versus adharmi) as an honorific descriptor for just rulers and virtuous individuals, giving the name a venerable, ethical resonance.

Used today chiefly in Hindi- and Gujarati-speaking regions, Dharmi is most often feminine but remains essentially unisex. Variant forms and cognates include Dharmee/Dharmie (anglicized spellings), Dharmika/Dhārmika (Sanskrit “pious”), and Dharma as a shorter root form; related but distinct is Dharini. The name suggests steadiness, fairness, and devotion rather than overt religiosity, making it a modern virtue name with classical depth.
