Amrusha is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Amrusha is a modern Sanskrit-derived feminine name most often analyzed as a blend of amrita (“immortal; ambrosial nectar”) and usha (“dawn”), yielding poetic senses like “immortal dawn” or “ambrosial daybreak.” The amrita element evokes the celestial nectar of Vedic myth, while Usha is the radiant goddess who ushers in morning; together they suggest freshness, renewal, and enduring vitality. Some also treat Amrusha as a phonetic variant influenced by regional speech of Amrita/Amrutha, producing a softer -sha ending.

Usage is rare but growing in India and the South Asian diaspora from the late 20th century onward, chosen for its lyrical sound and auspicious imagery rather than ties to a specific community. Variants and spellings seen include Amrushaa, Amrisha, and Amrusa; related names are Amrita/Amrutha and Usha. Nicknames such as Ami, Amru, and Rusha are common informal shortenings.
