The noun āścarya appears widely in classical Sanskrit literature - e.g., Bhagavad Gītā 2.29 and later devotional poetry - while its use as a personal name gained ground in the late 20th century alongside abstract-virtue names. Ascharya is rare and typically unisex, slightly more common for girls in some communities. Common variants and transliterations include Aashcharya, Ashcharya, Aascharya, and Aascharyaa; with scholarly diacritics it appears as Āścarya.
