Achyut is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Achyut is the modern Indo-Aryan form of Sanskrit Acyuta, an epithet of Vishnu/Krishna meaning "the unfailing, imperishable, never-fallen."

Attested in the Bhagavad Gita (1.21), where Arjuna addresses Krishna as Acyuta, the name recurs throughout Puranic and bhakti literature and inspired figures such as Vijayanagara emperor Achyuta Raya and the Odia saint-poet Achyutananda. As a given name it is used across India and Nepal, especially in Vaishnava traditions, and appears in temple compounds like Acyuta Keshava. Variants and transliterations include Acyuta, Achyuta, Achyuth, Achyutha, Achuthan (South Indian), and Aachyut; a feminine or devotional form Acyuti exists but is rare, and nicknames include Achu or Achyu. Not to be confused with Hindi achhut ("untouched," i.e., "untouchable"), which is etymologically unrelated.
