Meaning of Ayush

Ayush is a masculine name rooted in Sanskrit, where it literally means “life” or “long life,” reflecting a blessing for health and longevity. Its cultural associations extend to Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine often called the “science of life.” Pronounced ah-YOOSH (/əˈjuːʃ/), Ayush has maintained a modest but steady presence in the United States: the Social Security Administration recorded 29 births under this name in 2024, placing it at 895th nationally. Though it remains relatively uncommon, its consistent appearance in naming statistics since the early 2000s signals an enduring appeal among families drawn to its concise sound and positive connotations.
