Muthia is a multicultural given name used chiefly in Indonesia and Malaysia, pronounced MOO-tee-ah. In the Malay–Indonesian sphere it often shortens Mutiara, the common word for “pearl,” lending the name a sense of rarity and preciousness. In parallel, it can reflect the Arabic feminine Muti’a, “obedient” or “dutiful,” a virtue name found in Muslim naming traditions. The -th- spelling is a modern regional variant; the name is typically feminine in Southeast Asia.

Usage rose in the late 20th century with modern Indonesian Muslim naming patterns, and it remains popular in urban centers and among diaspora families. Related forms and spellings include Mutia, Mutiya, Muthiya, Muti’a, and the fuller Mutiara; South Indian Tamil communities use the cognate Muthiah/Muttiah (from muthu, “pearl”) as a masculine name or patronymic. Nicknames like Tia or Muty are common. Overall, Muthia signals grace, value, and upright character.
