Bhanu Dasa is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
From Sanskrit bhānu (“sun, radiance”) + dāsa (“servant, devotee”), Bhanu Dasa means “servant of the Sun” or “devotee of radiant light,” evoking humility before Surya. Predominantly masculine because dāsa is grammatically masculine; the feminine counterpart is Bhanu Dasi. Variants include the Sanskritized Bhānudāsa, Marathi Bhanudas, and North Indian Bhanu Das/Das/Dass.
As a theophoric compound, it appears in Bhakti traditions, where Dasa serves as a devotional title adopted by Vaishnavas and other bhaktas to express servitude to God; Sant Bhanudas (16th c., Maharashtra) is a noted bearer. Bhanu has Vedic pedigree, while Dasa endures as both surname and honorific. Today Bhanu Dasa appears as a full given name or as an initiated spiritual name, with formal Bhānudāsa and colloquial Bhanu Das coexisting in modern use.
We can't find Bhanu Dasa in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. That's typically a sign of a rare name, a regional or traditional one, or a modern coinage. By any reading, it's an exceptionally uncommon choice.
