It is also used among lay communities in North and Central India and Nepal, with shorter call names like Anand. Related philosophical-theophoric names include Paramananda, Satyananda, Nityananda, and Chidananda. While not common globally, Brahmanand retains steady regional use, valued for its serene, contemplative meaning.
