Amitabhas

Amitabhas is a plural form used to refer to people who bear the given name Amitabha. The name Amitabha is of Sanskrit origin and is used in Hindu and Buddhist contexts. In Sanskrit, Amitābha combines amita, meaning "boundless" or "infinite," with bha, meaning "light" or "luster," yielding the meaning "Boundless Light" or "Infinite Light." The name is associated with religious figures such as Amitābha Buddha and is used as a personal name in the Indian subcontinent and among related diasporas.

The plural form Amitabhas arises when listing or referring to multiple individuals named Amitabha. In modern usage, people named Amitabha can be found in various fields, including academia, public service, the arts, and business. The form reflects the ongoing use of the name across generations rather than identifying a single prominent figure.

Geographically, the name Amitabha and its plural Amitabhas are more common in regions with historical ties to Sanskrit-based naming practices, including India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and parts of Southeast Asia, as well as among diaspora communities. In Buddhist literature, Amitābha also designates a key celestial Buddha, which reinforces the name’s religious resonance in some cultures.

Notable individuals named Amitabha are typically listed under the singular form Amitabha or categorized by surname, rather than under the plural Amitabhas. For reference, the name appears in Sanskrit dictionaries and compilations of Indian and Buddhist names.
