Mitra

Meaning of Mitra

Pronounced MEE-trah in Persian, the name Mitra emerges from the tapestry of ancient Persia, its very essence steeped in the gilded glow of friendship and light. It conjures an ember of warmth in a marble courtyard, as steadfast as a childhood promise whispered at dusk. In both Persian and Sanskrit, Mitra means “friend” or “ally,” a bridge between myth and modern life that once bound sun gods to mortals. Though enchanting, Mitra remains delightfully rare in the United States—just ten newborns received it in 2024, ranking around 940—yet its steady appearance over decades reveals an enduring charm. With a touch of Latin flair, it dances like papel picado in a warm breeze, hinting at vibrant fiestas and the rhythmic pulse of a salsa beat. Parents who choose Mitra weave ancient mystery with gentle confidence, ensuring she can out-friend even the most gregarious playmate while wearing a perpetual smile of timeless wonder.
