Ayushman
A boy's name of Sanskrit origin with 67 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
A male given name from Sanskrit used in India.
Ayushman is a boy's baby name of Sanskrit origin, meaning 'long-lived, blessed with long life.' In Hindu tradition, wishing a child ayushman (long life) is one of the most fundamental blessings — the gift of time to fulfill one's purpose.
Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana has made this name internationally recognizable. In Sanskrit, it represents one of the most basic human hopes — that this child will have the gift of a long and meaningful life.
EtymologyShow more
Ayushman appeared in SSA records in 2012, placing it in the modern era of American naming — a period when parents increasingly draw from global cultures, invent new names, and blend sounds to create something entirely original. Its Sanskrit roots may have been the starting point, adapted or respelled to fit contemporary American tastes.
With only 67 recorded births, Ayushman has not been widely studied in naming literature — its story belongs primarily to the families who chose it.
