Rishab is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.
Rishab is a modern Indian spelling of Sanskrit Ṛṣabha (ऋषभ), a Vedic word attested in early Sanskrit literature. Its literal sense is bull, especially a male bovine, and by extension it can denote the chief or foremost member of a class. The final -a of Ṛṣabha is often dropped in North Indian vernacular naming, giving Rishabh or Rishab; the initial vocalic ṛ is represented in English as ri.
The name has Hindu and Jain resonance: Ṛṣabha appears as an epithet of Vishnu in Purāṇic lists, while Ṛṣabhanātha or Rishabha Deva is the first Tīrthaṅkara in Jain tradition. In Indian classical music, rishabha names the second svara, abbreviated Re. Contemporary use is concentrated among Indian families, including diaspora communities; U.S. Social Security data show a small peak in 2006. Variants include Rishabh, Rishabha, Rishaba, and Rishav.
