Anasooya is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Anasooya is a feminine given name of Sanskrit origin, from Anasūyā (अनसूया), combining the privative an- “not” with asūyā “envy, ill will.” It therefore denotes “free from envy,” extended to senses such as “ungrudging,” “kindly,” and “benevolent.”

In Hindu mythic and devotional literature, Anasūyā is famed as the chaste wife of the sage Atri, exemplar of steadfast virtue, and mother of Dattatreya (and, in many tellings, Chandra and Durvasa). Her story appears in the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Puranas, and the name has circulated across the subcontinent since ancient times, with steady use in North and South India. Common variants include Anasuya (pan-Indian standard), Anasūyā (scholarly transliteration), Anasooya (Anglicized), Anusuya/Anusuiya (Hindi-belt spellings), and Anusoya/Anusua (Bengali-influenced). Nicknames such as Anu are widespread. The name’s enduring appeal comes from its moral resonance and graceful, classical sound.
