Jayanthie is Sanskrit in Origin.

Jayanthie is a Sinhalese-influenced feminine form of Jayanti/Jayanthi, from Sanskrit jayanti (जयन्ती), “victorious,” also used for a celebratory anniversary or festival. Built on the root jaya “victory,” the name carries connotations of triumph, auspicious beginnings, and public commemoration (as in many South Asian “ - jayanti” observances). In classical usage, jayanti functions as a feminine adjective and devotional epithet, which helped it become a given name across the Indian subcontinent.

The spelling Jayanthie reflects Anglicized Sri Lankan practice, while Jayanti (Hindi/Marathi) and Jayanthi (Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Sinhala) are the most common forms. Additional variants include Jayantee, Jayantie, and Jayanthee; short forms include Jaya and Yanti. Related masculine names are Jayanta, Jayanth, and Jayantha. Jayanthie has seen steady use in Sri Lanka from the mid-20th century, especially among families who favor names signaling success and auspicious celebration.
