Usha is Sanskrit in Origin.
Usha is the common English spelling of Sanskrit Uṣā, from Vedic Sanskrit uṣás, the feminine noun and divine name for dawn in the Rigveda. The stem uṣ- belongs to the Indo-Iranian and wider Indo-European dawn vocabulary, cognate with Avestan ušah-. In Sanskrit grammar the long-final form Uṣā is nominative singular, with the literal sense dawn or daybreak.
In Vedic religion Uṣas is personified as a goddess who opens the day and is addressed in a series of Rigvedic hymns. As a given name, Usha is used chiefly among Hindus and in modern Indian languages such as Hindi, Marathi, Kannada, and Tamil through Sanskrit naming tradition. Transliteration varies between Usha and Uṣā, while Ushas preserves the older Vedic form. In the United States it appears only sporadically in SSA records, first in 1951.
