History & Origin

Sashwat romanizes Sanskrit shashvat, 'eternal; perpetual; constant'. It is a word of philosophy as much as of vocabulary, used in classical Indian texts for the changeless. As a given name it is chosen for the hope of something enduring, and it is spelled several ways in English — Shashwat, Shaswat, Sashwat — with the sound essentially the same (said 'SUSH-wut').

In the U.S. it is rare, carried mainly by Indian families. Rare, philosophical, and Sanskrit-rooted.
