Tryshna is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Tryshna is a modern respelling of a South Asian name derived from Sanskrit tṛṣṇā (तृष्णा), “thirst, desire, longing,” from the root tṛṣ “to thirst.” In Indian philosophy and Buddhism, tṛṣṇā/taṇhā refers to craving, often viewed as a source of suffering; in poetry it can suggest ardent yearning or aspiration, giving the name a dual sense of passion and drive.

Used as a feminine given name across South Asia (India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka), the common form is Trishna or Trishnā, with Anglicized variants Tryshna, Trishnaa, Trishnaa, and the diacritic form Tṛṣṇā. The spelling with y likely arose in diaspora communities to signal the shn sound while adding distinctiveness. Related names include Trisha and Trishana, which share the same Sanskrit root. Though traditional as a lexical word, the name’s adoption surged in the late 20th century, aligning with a broader trend of Sanskrit-derived, meaning-rich choices.
