Pavithry is a modern South Asian given name derived from Sanskrit pavitra, “pure, sacred; purifier,” a term that also named the strainer used in Vedic Soma rites.

It is used chiefly for girls, though the root is grammatically unisex across Indian languages.

Usage is strongest in Tamil- and Malayalam-speaking communities in India and the diaspora, where ideals of spiritual cleanliness and auspiciousness make the name appealing. Closely related forms include Pavitra (Hindi/Marathi), Pavithra/Pavithraa (Tamil, Kannada, Telugu), and the masculine Pavithran or Pavit; short forms such as Pavi are common. All variants carry the same core meaning of holiness, purity, and moral clarity, making Pavithry a contemporary yet tradition‑anchored choice.
