Anshu

Meaning of Anshu

Anshu (ahn-shoo) springs from ancient Sanskrit into modern Hindi as a radiant term meaning “ray of light” or “sunbeam,” and it carries an uplifting warmth perfect for a bright, curious daughter whose spirit feels as gentle and hopeful as early morning sunlight. Though this luminous name is cherished across South Asia, it remains a delightful rarity in the United States—only five to thirteen newborn girls a year receive it, placing Anshu around the 950th spot on the popularity charts—which lends an exclusive charm for families seeking something both deeply meaningful and refreshingly uncommon. Parents might picture little Anshu at dawn, her laughter a living echo of that original glow, weaving inspiration into every ordinary moment.
