Anweshaa is a modern Indian feminine given name rooted in Sanskrit, derived from anveshana, “search, quest, inquiry,” and related to the verb anvesh, “to seek.” It conveys the idea of a mindful pursuit - often of knowledge, truth, or purpose.

Common variants include Anwesha (the most prevalent), Anvesha, and Anveshaa; related forms are Anveshana/Anweshana (“investigation”) and the masculine Anvesh.
