Vimla Patel, Babies' Names from the Indian Subcontinent, lists the name Mahati (f) 'great'. I think this is the name's Sanskrit form.

I think the meaning of "mahathi" is great. Also there is a raaga in carnatic music with that name. And I dunno if this is rite but then its believed that the name of the veena that narada holds also is the same.
