What is the meaning of the name Aayush ?

The baby name Aayush is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced AA-yush (approx. IPA: /ˈaːjuʃ/).

Aayush is Sanskrit in Origin.

Aayush derives from Sanskrit āyus (आयुस्), "life, longevity," the same root that forms Ayurveda, the "knowledge of life." As a given name it conveys a blessing of long, healthy life and enduring vitality. In Vedic and classical texts, āyuṣ and compounds like dīrghāyus ("long life") appear in prayers and benedictions; the salutation "Ayuṣmān bhava" ("be endowed with long life") underlies the name’s auspicious tone.

Used across India and Nepal, Aayush is popular among Hindu families and is often chosen at the nāmakaraṇa (naming) ceremony to invoke well-being. Common variants and spellings include Ayush, Aayushman/Ayushman (Āyuṣmān, "one possessing long life"), and the feminine Aayushi/Ayushi (Āyuṣī); shorter forms like Ayu or Yush serve as nicknames. Related regional renderings appear in Marathi, Hindi, and Nepali. The name balances tradition with modern brevity, making it a familiar yet meaningful choice.
