Majitha is a town and a municipal council in Amritsar district in the Indian state of Punjab.

[2][3] The original name of the town, Madho-Jetha, became contracted into Majitha over time.

[4][5] The town was founded by a man named Madho, a Jat of the Gill clan.

Since he was the eldest son of his father, the town was named 'Madho-Jetha' (jetha means 'elder' or 'firstborn' in Punjabi).
