Manjyoti blends two Sanskrit elements: mañju (pleasant, charming, melodious) and jyoti (light, radiance, flame).

Usage appears across India, especially in Assamese and Bengali contexts, and in Hindi- and Marathi-speaking communities and the diaspora. It functions as a unisex name: Jyoti-based forms skew feminine in many regions, while Assamese naming often uses -jyoti for men as well. Variants and spellings include Manjujyoti, Manjoti, and the South Indian transliteration Manjyothi (cf. Jyothi for Jyoti). Related names are Manju, Manjula, Jyoti, and Jyotika; common nicknames include Manju and Jyoti. The name’s modern appeal lies in its luminous, serene imagery.
