Niousha is Persian in Origin.
Niousha (Persian نیوشا) is a predominantly feminine Persian given name meaning “listener” or “attentive one,” derived from the ancient Iranian root niuš-/niyūsh-, “to listen, to heed,” preserved in classical Persian as niyūshidan. The name conveys receptivity to advice, music, and inner wisdom, and is sometimes glossed as “one who listens with the heart.”
As a personal name it is relatively modern, gaining visibility in Iran from the late 20th century and among the Iranian diaspora; bearers include actresses Niousha Zeighami and Niousha Noor, which helped broaden its recognition. Spellings vary with transliteration: Niusha, Niyosha, Nioosha, Niyousha, and occasionally Niusha. While mainly used for girls, it can be unisex in rare cases. Related forms share the same root - such as the poetic verb niyushidan - but Niousha is the most common contemporary given-name form.
