Sushrutha is a Sanskrit masculine name rooted in su- (“good, well”) + śruta (“heard, reported, renowned”), yielding meanings such as “well-heard,” “of good repute,” and by extension “renowned, learned.” It corresponds to the classical form Suśruta (IAST), with modern transliterations Sushruta, Sushrut, Sushruth, and Susruta; Sushrutha is a South Indian spelling reflecting the aspirated dental t (th). The feminine counterpart is Suśrutā. The name carries connotations of attentiveness and reputation for knowledge.

Usage is anchored in the Indian subcontinent and the diaspora, where it evokes the famed ancient physician Sushruta, author of the Sushruta Saṃhitā and often called the father of surgery. As a given name it has seen periodic revival, especially among families connected to scholarship or medicine, and is moderately used in Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, and Tamil contexts.
