Gowthamie is Sanskrit in Origin.

Gowthamie is a feminine name of South Asian origin, rooted in Sanskrit Gautami, the feminine counterpart of Gautama, a patronymic linked to the Vedic sage Gotama. In Pali it appears as Gotami. The core sense is being of the Gotama lineage or a descendant or follower of Gotama. Gautami is also a poetic name of the Godavari River in India, lending the name associations with purity, learning, and sacred waters, and by extension with the Buddha (Shakyamuni Gautama).

Use spans ancient to modern times across India and Sri Lanka. It is borne in early inscriptions by Queen Gautami Balashri of the Satavahana dynasty, and in Buddhist tradition by Mahapajapati Gotami, the Buddha’s foster mother and the first ordained bhikkhuni. Contemporary spellings vary by language and romanization: Gautami, Gauthami, Gowthami, Gouthami, Gautamee, and (Sinhala/Tamil-influenced) Gothami/Gotami; Gowthamie reflects an Anglicized Sinhalese/Tamil rendering. Related masculine: Gautam/Gowtham.
