Lohas is in Origin.

Lohas is a rare modern given name with two distinct echoes. In contemporary English it is most recognizable from the lifestyle acronym LOHAS (“Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability”), giving the name an eco‑conscious, wellness‑oriented aura. Independently, it resonates with the Indo‑Aryan root loha in Sanskrit and Pali, meaning “iron” or “metal,” a classic semantic base for names signifying strength, steadfastness, and resilience.

Because it is largely a recent coinage as a given name, historical usage is limited and scattered, appearing in India and among global, sustainability‑minded parents since the early 2000s. Variants and related forms include Loha, Lohit/Lohith (from Lohita “reddish, copper/iron‑colored”), and the feminine Lohita; Lauha/Louha appears in scholarly transliteration. Lohas functions as a unisex choice, with meanings ranging from “iron; strong” to an implied “sustainable living,” depending on the bearer’s preferred inspiration.
