Iantha (also Ianthe) combines the Greek ion (violet) and anthos (flower) — meaning "violet flower." Ianthe was an Oceanid in Greek mythology and a beloved of Iphis.
Iantha is rare as a given name but distinctive.
Iantha does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Iantha reduce to 8, The Visionary. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
