The baby name Anusha is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ah-NOO-shah.
Anusha is Persian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Anusha is used in South Asia as Anuṣā, written अनुषा in Devanagari, and is usually explained from Sanskrit uṣas, the Vedic word for dawn. The initial an-/anu- belongs to the name’s later feminine shape rather than a transparent standalone element. A separate Persian Anūsha/Anusheh (انوشه) continues Middle Persian anōšag, with privative a- and a stem linked to death, giving immortal, deathless, or ambrosial.
In India the name is familiar in Hindu and broader South Asian use, with spellings shaped by Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and English transliteration. Tamil anusham names the Anuradha lunar mansion, which may have reinforced the form regionally. Persian variants include Anousha, Anousheh, and Anusheh. Modern visibility comes chiefly from Indian media figures such as Anusha Dandekar, singer Anusha Mani, and filmmaker Anusha Rizvi.
