Manith is Tamil in Origin.
Manith is a South and Southeast Asian given name, most common in Cambodia. In Khmer it is often linked to Sanskrit/Pali mani “jewel,” yielding the sense “precious, a gem,” while in broader Indic and Thai usage it overlaps with Manit, traced to Sanskrit manita “esteemed, honored.” Taken together, Manith carries positive meanings such as precious, honored, and valued.
The name entered wider circulation in the mid–20th century and today appears across the Cambodian diaspora as well as in Indian and Thai communities, typically for boys but sometimes unisex. Spelling variants and related forms include Manit (Thai/Indic), Maneet (Punjabi/Hindi), and feminine counterparts Manita/Manitha; short forms like Mani or Neet also occur. Though not common in Western records, Manith fits modern preferences for concise, pan‑Asian names with clear, uplifting meanings and straightforward pronunciation (ma-NEET).
Manith is extremely rare. There are only 13 recorded uses on record, spread over 9 countries.
