Anushiravan is Persian in Origin.
Anushiravan is a Persian masculine name from Middle Persian (Pahlavi) anōšag-ruwān, literally “of immortal soul.” It blends anōšag/anūš (“immortal, everlasting”) with ruwān (“soul, spirit”); in New Persian it appears as Anūshirvān (انوشیروان).
Best known as the epithet of Sasanian king Khosrow I (531–579 CE), Anushiravan became a byword for just rulership in Persian literature, notably the Shahnameh, and later Islamic “mirrors for princes.” The name endured across the Persianate world - Iran, Central Asia, and South Asia - especially among Zoroastrian/Parsi families. Variants and transliterations include Anūshirvān, Anoushirvan, Anushirvan, Anushirawan, Nushirvan/Nowshirvan, Noshirvan/Noshirwan, and Nausherwan/Nausherwan; shortened forms like Noshir also occur. In modern usage it signals classical heritage and is often associated with the epithet ʿĀdel, “the Just.” The meaning evokes an enduring, noble spirit.
We have no record of Anushiravan in any national birth registry or name dataset. That usually points to a very rare, regional, or newly coined name. Whichever it is, scarcely anyone else carries it.
