Susruta is Sanskrit in Origin.

Susruta is a masculine Sanskrit given name formed from su- “good, excellent” and śruta “heard, learned, renowned” (from the root √śru, “to hear”). The combined sense is “well-learned,” “renowned,” or “of good repute,” evoking one who has listened attentively and mastered knowledge.

The best-known bearer is the ancient physician Suśruta, traditionally credited with the Susruta/Sushruta Saṁhitā, a foundational treatise of surgery and Ayurveda, which gives the name a scholarly and medical aura. Usage is uncommon but respected in South Asia and the diaspora, sometimes chosen in families with academic or clinical ties. Variants include Suśruta (IAST), Sushruta (anglicized), Susruta (this spelling), and clipped modern forms Sushrut/Susrut; Bengali-influenced usage may drop the final -a in speech. A rare feminine counterpart is Suśrutā.
