Mahanty/Mohanty surname caste in Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal.

The surname Mahanty, alternatively spelled as Mahanti, Mohanty, and Mahanthi (మహంతి), originates from the Sanskrit terms "Mahan" and "Mahant," both signifying "great." These names reflect individuals of considerable influence who, through their personal charisma, intelligence, wisdom, or expertise, wielded their power in a manner that left a lasting and significant impact, earning them the esteemed recognition of greatness.

It is pertinent to note that Mahanty, along with its alternative spellings Mohanty, Mahanti, and Mahanthi (మహంతి), served as an honorific title (उपाधि/पदवी) bestowed by the kings of Utkala, encompassing present-day Odisha and Bankura, Purulia and Midnapore district of West Bengal. This recognition, granted irrespective of caste considerations, was conferred upon individuals with profound expertise in fields such as administration and accounting during historical periods. Importantly, Mahanty is not indicative of a specific caste or family; rather, it solely represents an honorary designation, akin to titles like Padma Bhushan or Bidya Bhushan.

वेद,और अग्नि पुराण के अनुसार,हरी ओम मंत्र के जप से,
व्यक्ति का पाप नाश होता है और उसे मोक्ष की प्राप्ति होती है।
