Ashwath is Sanskrit in Origin.
Ashwath is a masculine Indian name from Sanskrit Ashvattha (Aśvattha), the sacred fig or peepal tree (Ficus religiosa). The ashvattha is revered across Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain traditions; it appears in the Vedas and in the Bhagavad Gita's image of the upside-down world-tree, and it is the species of the Buddha's Bodhi tree. As a given name, Ashwath has widespread contemporary use in India, especially in the south, and among the diaspora, valued for its spiritual, serene associations.
Meaning centers on "sacred fig," with a classical folk etymology glossing a-shva-stha as "that which does not remain till tomorrow," evoking impermanence. Common variants include Ashvath, Aashwath, Aswath, and Ashwattha; scholarly transliteration is Aśvattha. Related but distinct is Ashwatthama from the Mahabharata. Short forms Ash and Vath occasionally appear.
