Meaning & origin
Mayuri is a feminine name of Sanskrit origin that entered U.S. naming records in 1986. As of 2025, it stands at rank 11,932, with 1 in 229,610 newborns receiving the name. Its popularity has been on an upward trajectory since 2016, reaching a peak in 2023. While not yet common enough to appear in the top baby names by state, its rise reflects a growing interest in names with Indian cultural roots. The name's meaning, connected to the peacock or a musical instrument, lends it a lyrical quality. Mayuri remains a distinctive choice that honors its heritage while fitting into a modern naming landscape.
Mayuri derives from Sanskrit मयूरी (mayūrī), meaning 'peahen' or 'a kind of musical instrument.' It is closely related to the word 'mayura' (peacock). The name has been used in India, particularly in Hindu families, and gained some modern usage outside India as a unique feminine name.
