Aayushi is not in the current top 1,000, which means your child is unlikely to share the name with a classmate — a plus for parents who value distinctiveness.

Aayushi is a girl's baby name of Sanskrit origin, from the Sanskrit ayushi meaning 'one who has a long life' or 'blessing of longevity,' from ayus (life, age). The doubled A- opening in Aayushi reflects the Devanagari script's long vowel, giving the name a slightly more elaborate English transliteration.

Aayushi is a name given as a blessing — the wish that its bearer will live long, flourish, and fill their years with meaning, embodied in every syllable.
