Anshul is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.
Anshul is an Indian given name rooted in Sanskrit. It derives from aṃśu, “ray, sunbeam,” combined with the adjectival suffix -la, yielding anśula - “radiant, sunlit, full of light.” In modern Indo-Aryan languages such as Hindi and Marathi, this becomes Anshul, carrying senses of brightness, brilliance, and benevolence.
As a personal name it appears mainly from the 20th century onward with the revival of Sanskritic names, and is common in North India and among the diaspora. The name is primarily masculine but used unisex in some families. Variants and spellings include Anśul (with diacritics), Aanshul, and the short form Anshu; the clearly feminine counterpart is Anshula. Its solar imagery lends auspicious connotations of clarity, vitality, and guidance. Note that Anshul in this Indian sense is unrelated to the Yiddish given name Anshel/Anschel.
