History & Origin

Amrutha is a South Indian spelling of Sanskrit amrita, literally 'not dead; deathless,' the ambrosia churned from the ocean of milk in Hindu myth. The name is long established in India, and we note its sacred sense respectfully — sweet, life-giving, enduring (said 'um-ROO-thah').

In the U.S. it appears rarely, mostly in Indian families. Rare here, familiar in India, and meaning-rich.
