Peeush is an Indian masculine given name from Sanskrit pīyūṣa (पीयूष), meaning “nectar,” “ambrosia,” or “elixir,” also poetically “milk” or the “nectar of the moon.” In classical literature and Hindu myth - especially the Samudra Manthan tale of the ocean’s churning - pīyūṣa/amṛta symbolizes life-giving sweetness and immortality, giving the name auspicious overtones.

The most common modern form is Piyush; Peeush and Peyush are alternative transliterations used in North India and the diaspora to mark the long vowel ī/ū. A rarer feminine counterpart is Piyusha; affectionate short forms include Piyu and Piu. The name gained steady urban popularity in the mid-to-late 20th century during the Sanskritic revival in Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, and Bengali-speaking communities, and it remains familiar across India today. Cognate or thematic relatives include Amrit/Amrita and Sudha, all conveying “nectar.” Not related to the Latin name Pius despite superficial similarity.
