maitni

Maitni is a proper noun that may appear in South Asian naming contexts. The most common usage is as a surname. In parts of India and Nepal, families with the Maitni surname have been recorded in local genealogical registries and community rosters. The name is sometimes associated with the Mithila region and Maithili-speaking communities, but it is not restricted to a single area.

Beyond surnames, maitni is less frequently found as a place name or as part of local organizational names. There is no widely accepted meaning or definition of maitni in major encyclopedias, and spellings vary in transliteration, including Maitni, Maitney, or Maitniya in some records.

Because coverage is limited, notable individuals or institutions bearing the name tend to exist only in local contexts rather than in global reference works. The term's origins are not definitively established in available sources, and it may reflect regional naming practices rather than a single, universal etymology.
