Anshumat is a masculine given name of Sanskrit origin (aṃśumat, ‘endowed with rays’), from aṃśu ‘ray, sunbeam’ + suffix -mat ‘possessing’, a productive formation indicating ‘one who has’. It conveys ‘radiant, sunlit, resplendent’, and by extension ‘illustrious’ - an epithet also applied to the Sun.
