Anoshirwan is Persian in Origin.

Anoshirwan is a masculine Persian name rooted in Middle Persian anōšag “immortal” + ruwān “soul/spirit,” yielding the meaning “of the immortal soul” or “immortal spirit.” It became widely known as the honorific of the Sasanian emperor Khosrow I (531–579), celebrated in Persian literature as Anushirvan-e Adil, “the Just.” Through chronicles and epic poetry such as the Shahnameh, the epithet migrated into given-name use across Persianate lands.

The form Anoshirwan reflects Indo‑Persian and Urdu transliteration; common variants include Anushirvan, Anoushirvan, Anushirawan, Anushervan, Nushirvan, Noshirvan, Nosherwan, and Naushirvan; Arabic sources often show Anushirwan/Nushirwan. It remains in limited use among Iranians, Afghans, Tajiks, and especially Zoroastrian Parsis in India and Pakistan, where short forms like Noshir or Nosher are heard. The name carries connotations of justice and wise rule due to its royal association.
