Mohith is a South Asian masculine name of Sanskrit origin, a regional spelling of Mohit. It derives from Sanskrit mohita, the past participle of √muh “to bewilder, charm,” and denotes “enchanted, captivated, charmed,” extending in use to “one who captivates hearts.” The name belongs to the same lexical family as Mohan (“enchanter”) and Mohini (“the enchantress,” an epithet of Vishnu), and the participle mohita appears in classical Sanskrit and devotional literature to describe being spellbound by beauty or divine grace.

Used across India and the diaspora, Mohith is especially common in southern transliterations, while Mohit predominates in Hindi-speaking regions. Feminine counterparts include Mohita and Mohitha; related forms are Mohana and the thematic Mohan. The name saw broader urban popularity from the late 20th century with modern Hindu naming trends.
