Mutee is Arabic in Origin.

Mutee is a masculine given name of Arabic origin, from مُطِيع (Muṭīʿ), the active participle of ṭāʿa “to obey.” It denotes “obedient,” “compliant,” or “dutiful,” often carrying the devotional sense “obedient to God.” The name entered Persian and Urdu and appears in South Asian Muslim communities via anglicized spellings such as Mutee, Muti, Mutie, and Muti’; scholarly transliteration is Muṭīʿ (pronounced mu-TEE). Feminine counterparts include Muṭīʿa and the Southeast Asian forms Mutia/Mutiyah.

In historical usage, Muṭīʿ functions both as a personal name and as an honorific epithet. A notable bearer is the Abbasid caliph al-Muṭīʿ li-llāh (r. 946–974), whose regnal title means “obedient to God.” Today the name sees steady but modest use across the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, and the diaspora, and it sometimes appears in compound theophoric constructions such as Muteeullah or Muti-ur-Rahman; it is distinct from al-Mu‘ti (“the Giver”), a different Arabic root and name.
