Anushirwan is Persian in Origin.

Anushirwan is a Persian male name derived from Middle Persian Anōšag-ruwān (New Persian Anūshirvān), combining anōšag “immortal, undying” and ruwān “soul, spirit,” yielding the sense “of immortal soul” or “possessing an immortal spirit.” The form entered New Persian and Persianate literatures as an honorific epithet emphasizing moral rectitude and enduring fame.

The name is best known as the sobriquet of Sasanian emperor Khosrow I (r. 531–579), celebrated in the Shahnameh and later adab for justice and wise governance; this prestige carried the name across the Persianate world, into Arabic and Turkic texts, and later into South Asia. Variants and transliterations include Anushirvan, Anoshirvan, Anoushirvan/Anoushirvān, Nushirvan, Noshirvan, Nosherwan, Nowshirvan/Noushirvan, and the Parsi form Noshirwan (also seen in surnames like Noshirvani, Nosherwanji). Usage today is uncommon but persists in Iran and among Zoroastrian and Parsi communities.
