Mythri is Kannada, Sanskrit in Origin.
From Sanskrit maitri (मैत्री), Mythri means “friendship, goodwill, loving-kindness,” a virtue celebrated in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain thought and cognate with Pali metta. It derives from mitra “friend” via maitra “friendly,” with the feminine abstract -ī. In contemporary India Mythri is typically pronounced MY-tree; the “th” marks an aspirated t in Indic transliteration rather than the English th sound.
As a personal name it is most common for girls in South India but understood nationwide, rising in the late 20th century alongside Sanskrit-derived virtue names. Variant spellings include Maitri, Maitree, Mytri, and Bengali Moitri/Moitree; related forms are Maitreyi (classical feminine) and the cognate masculine Maitreya. The name conveys amity, kindness, and social harmony, appealing to families seeking inclusive, peace-leaning values.
