History & Origin

Tushar is a Sanskrit name from tushara, meaning snow, frost or cold mist. It is a familiar and appealing boy's name in India, evoking the cool clarity of snow, and it echoes the Tushara mountains and people of the greater Himalayan region. In the United States it appears in birth records from the later twentieth century, carried mainly by South Asian immigrant families, with a modest high in the early two-thousands.

It was never common in American use, given to only a couple dozen boys a year at its peak, so a Tushar from then would be in his twenties or thirties today. Among Indian American families it remains a fresh, meaningful heritage name.

Did you know? In Sanskrit tushara names snow and frost, and the ancient Tushara people and mountains of the Himalayan region share the word.
