Mukti is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.
Mukti derives from Sanskrit mukti (मुक्ति), meaning "release, liberation, salvation," the spiritual freedom sought in Indian philosophies. The term is central in Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, and Buddhism, often paired with moksha and nirvana in texts and hymns. As a given name, it carries the aspirational sense of emancipation from suffering or bondage, making it a virtue name with deep devotional resonance.
Use as a personal name appears across North India, Bengal, Nepal, and the Indian diaspora, and it is unisex, though often feminine in contemporary urban settings. Variants and related forms include Mukthi (South Indian transliteration), Mukta ("liberated"; also "pearl" in several Indo-Aryan languages), and Moksha, a modern cognate adopted as a name. The name features in Sikh scripture and Bhakti poetry; modern bearers include the Indian performer Mukti Mohan, reinforcing its cultured, spiritual image.
