Rishabh
Meaning of Rishabh
Rishabh is a masculine name of Sanskrit origin, derived from the word “riṣabha,” which conveys notions of excellence, strength and leadership. In Hindu tradition it is one of the names of Nandi, the steadfast bull mount of Lord Shiva, and in Indian classical music it denotes the second svara, underscoring a rich melodic heritage. Pronounced REE-shub (/riˈʃɑb/) in Indian English, Rishabh has maintained a steady presence in the United States since the early 1990s, consistently ranking among the top 1,000 boys’ names—fluctuating between the mid-700s and low-900s and naming 18 newborns in 2024. Its blend of cultural depth, clear pronunciation and modern resonance—bolstered by public figures such as Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant—makes it a distinctive yet accessible choice for parents seeking a name with both tradition and contemporary appeal.
