What is the meaning of the name Das ?

The baby name Das is a Male name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /dɑːs/ (DAHS) or /dæs/ (DASS).

Das is Sanskrit in Origin.

Rooted in Sanskrit dāsa, Das means “servant” or “devotee,” often understood as “servant of God.” The name spread through Indo‑Aryan languages (Bengali, Assamese, Odia, Hindi, Punjabi) and functions both as a masculine given name and a ubiquitous surname. In devotional contexts it is the theophoric element -dās attached to a deity’s name, yielding forms such as Haridas, Ramdas, or Surdas, while Das on its own conveys humility and dedication.

Across medieval and early‑modern South Asia the Bhakti movement popularized -dās among poets and saints (e.g., Krishnadasa Kaviraja, Raghunatha Dasa). Today Das remains a common family name in eastern India and Bangladesh and is also used in Gaudiya Vaishnava and ISKCON traditions where initiated men add Dāsa (women, Dāsī). Variants include Dāsa, Dass, Dash (Odia spelling), and Dās; feminine parallels Dasi/Dāsī; related extensions Dasan and hypocoristic Dasu appear regionally.
