Suneethi is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Suneethi is a feminine Indian name rooted in Sanskrit, formed from su- “good, auspicious” and nīti “conduct, ethics, wise policy.” Its core sense is “good conduct,” extending to “righteous principle,” “prudence,” and “sound guidance.” The canonical Sanskrit form is Sunīti (सुनीति), and the name carries moral-ethical overtones prized in many Indic traditions.

In literature and devotional lore, Sunīti is remembered as the virtuous queen and mother of Dhruva in the Purāṇas, helping fix the name in cultural memory. Usage spans North and South India, with spellings shaped by regional phonology: Suneeti/Suniti (Hindi-Bengali), Suneethi/Sunithi (Tamil-Telugu-Kannada transliteration), and Suneetha/Sunitha as lengthened variants; it is sometimes associated with, though etymologically distinct from, Sunita (su-nīta, “well guided”). Contemporary bearers favor the shorter Suniti/Suneeti in formal records, while Suneethi remains common in South Indian and diaspora contexts.
