Anoushiravan is Persian in Origin.

Anoushiravan is a Persian male name from Middle Persian Anōšag-ruwān, literally “immortal soul” (anōšag “immortal” + ruwān “soul”). In New Persian it appears as Anušīrvān/Anushirvan (انوشیروان), with the sense “of the immortal spirit” and a broader connotation of enduring virtue. The name is best known as the epithet of Sasanian king Khosrow I Anushirvan (reigned 531–579 CE), whose reputation for justice in Persian literature and Islamic historiography cemented the name’s prestige; Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh and later adab works helped popularize it across the Persianate world.

Variants and transliterations include Anushirvan, Anoshirvan, Anushirawan, Anushiravan; Arabic/Urdu forms Nushirwan, Nausherwan, Nosherwan, Noshirwan; and scholarly forms Anūšīrvān/Anūshirvān. It remains in use in Iran and among Persian-speaking communities, as well as South Asian Parsis and Muslims, sometimes yielding the nickname Anoush/Anosh. The name often implies fairness, wisdom, and enduring honor.
