What Does the Name Mayuri Mean?
Mayuri is a feminine name from Sanskrit. Its source is mayūrī (मयूरी), the feminine form of mayūra, meaning "peacock"; the name therefore means "peahen," a female peacock. The Sanskrit feminine ending -ī distinguishes it from the masculine mayūra.
The name is unrelated to Maya, which comes from a different Sanskrit word (māyā, "illusion"). A separate Japanese name romanized as Mayuri is written with various kanji and has no connection to the Sanskrit word.
Mayuri Name History & Origins
The Sanskrit word mayūra is an old name for the peacock, and mayūrī is its feminine form. Mayuri comes from this common noun, not from a legendary figure or a royal name. In Indian usage it belongs with feminine names taken from birds, animals, and plants.
The peacock appears in Indian religious art as the vehicle of Kartikeya, called Murugan in South India, and peacock feathers are associated with Krishna. These associations do not give the name a separate meaning; they are part of the word's cultural setting. Mayuri is used in India and in Indian communities abroad, where Mayuree is a common alternate spelling.
