Mutiya is Tagalog in Origin.
Mutiya is a feminine given name found in South and Southeast Asia. Its sound cluster traces to a family of words for “pearl” and “precious jewel”: Hindi-Urdu moti “pearl,” yielding motiya; Tagalog mutya “jewel; muse”; and Malay/Indonesian mutiara “pearl” - all ultimately connected, via regional exchanges, to Sanskrit mukta “pearl.” As such, Mutiya carries the meanings “pearl, treasure, beloved one” and sometimes evokes the fragrant motiya (Arabian jasmine) in North India and Pakistan.
In modern use, it appears in the Philippines and Indonesia alongside Mutya and Mutia, and in the Indian subcontinent as Motiya or Mutiya. Variant forms and related names include Mutya, Mutia, Mutiara, Motiya, Motia, and Muthu (Tamil). Short forms Tiya or Muty are occasional. The name’s cross-linguistic footprint gives it a cosmopolitan yet rooted feel, appealing to families seeking a luminous, nature-adjacent meaning.
