piyush

Piyush is a male given name of Indian origin. Derived from Sanskrit piyush, meaning nectar or ambrosia, the name is associated with something refreshing and life-sustaining in Hindu and broader Indian cultural contexts. It is common in India and among the Indian diaspora and is typically used as a given name rather than a surname.

In public life, several individuals with this name have gained prominence, including Piyush Goyal, an Indian politician and cabinet minister; Piyush Chawla, an Indian cricketer; and Piyush Mishra, an Indian actor, lyricist, and playwright.

The name appears across literature and media in Hindi-speaking regions and remains part of contemporary Indian naming practices that favor Sanskrit-derived elements.
