Anshu — unisex name

What the Data Says About Anshu

The Social Security Administration has registered 138 babies named Anshu between 2003 and 2020, spanning 18 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Anshu currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2020. The name reached its historical peak in 2010, when 13 babies received it in a single year. Anshu is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 10 additional births since 2004.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Anshu performed strongest in the 2010s, accumulating 74 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Anshu shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Anshu in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 138 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
