Mathuri

I met someone recently named Mathuri. She's a half-Indian American in her late 20s from the midwest. I think her name is really pretty, personally. I tried looking up the name but only found Mathurin and Mathurine, which are French and derived from Latin. I don't know if Mathuri is another variation of the name though. She says it like muh-tur-ee.Thoughts?

It's okay. It could grow on me. Knowing someone with the name would certainly help acclimate me to it!

*facts board hat*Alternate transcription of Madhuri based on Wiktionary pronounciation of root word in Hindi मधुर (madhura) muh-dʰuwr
https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%A7%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%B0#Hindi
T sound instead of dʰ is probably dialect. Maybe it is tʰ in her native region.Aside from this, I like!

It sounds strange and foreign to me. I can't say I'm really a fan.
