Anooshiravan is Persian in Origin.

Anooshiravan is a Persian masculine name from Middle Persian Anōšag-ruwān/Anōšag-rōwān, literally “immortal soul,” from anōšag “immortal, undying” + ruwān/rōwān “soul, spirit.” In New Persian it appears as Anushirvān (انوشیروان), with modern transliterations such as Anooshiravan or Anushirvan. The sense evokes endurance, justice, and wisdom in Persian cultural memory.

Usage is anchored in the epithet of Khosrow I (r. 531–579), the Sasanian shah known as Anushirvan the Just (Nushirvan-e Adel), whose reputation for fair governance spread across the Persianate world and into Arabic and South Asian literature. After Islamization, the name persisted in Iran, Central Asia, and among Zoroastrian Parsis in India, producing variant forms and surnames. Common variants and spellings include Anushirvan, Anushirawan, Anooshirvan, Anushervan, Noshirvan/Noshirwan/Nawshirwan, Nosherwan, and the Parsi derivatives Nusserwanji and Nosherwanji. Rare but dignified in modern use, Anooshiravan carries a classical, royal resonance.
