Amitayus is Sanskrit in Origin.
Amitayus is a Sanskrit theophoric name meaning “immeasurable life” (from amita, “boundless,” + āyus, “life, lifespan”). In Mahayana Buddhism it names the Buddha of Infinite Life, closely linked with Amitabha (“immeasurable light”); in art Amitayus holds a vase of amrita, symbolizing longevity and blessings of long life. The epithet appears in early Mahayana sutras and spread widely in Buddhist iconography across South and East Asia.
As a given name, Amitayus is rare in India and the West but appears among Buddhist communities in Nepal, Tibet, and East Asia, and in modern global Buddhist families. Usage skews masculine yet can be unisex. Variants and adaptations include the diacritic form Amitāyus; regional forms Wuliangshou (Chinese), Muryōju (Japanese), and Tsepagme (Tibetan); and the cognate Amitābha. Amita is a shorter, independent Sanskrit name with overlapping sense. The name carries connotations of longevity, vitality, compassion, and spiritual merit.
