Anweshna is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Anweshna is a modern Indian feminine name rooted in Sanskrit anveṣaṇā (अन्वेषणा), meaning “search,” “inquiry,” or “quest,” especially the pursuit of knowledge or truth. The form filters through Hindi and eastern Indo‑Aryan languages, where v and w alternate in transliteration, giving spellings with “w.” The name carries connotations of curiosity, exploration, and intellectual striving.

As a personal name it has gained currency from the late 20th century, when abstract, virtue‑inflected Sanskrit nouns began to be used for girls across India, notably among Bengali, Odia, and Hindi speakers. Common variants include Anwesha, Anvesha, Anveshna, and Anveshana; related masculine forms are Anvesh/Anveshan. Though primarily feminine, it can be considered unisex by meaning. Parents often choose it for its aspirational tone and mellifluous cadence, aligning with contemporary preferences for names that evoke learning and self‑discovery.
