Anasūyāgarbharatna (अनसूयागर्भरत्न, IAST: Anasūyāgarbharatna) is an Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Jewel born from the womb of Anasūyā”. From Anasūyā (the sage-mother renowned for unsurpassed virtue), garbha (womb, origin), and ratna (gem, jewel), this name honours Dattātreya as the most precious divine being who emerged from Anasūyā's blessed womb.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Anasūyā, whose name means 'free from jealousy,' was the wife of the sage Atri and is celebrated throughout the Purāṇas as the paragon of wifely virtue and spiritual power; the Trimūrti themselves took birth through her as Dattātreya. Garbharatna, literally 'jewel of the womb,' is a term of the highest maternal honour in Sanskrit poetic tradition, reserved for the most illustrious of offspring. This name thus affirms that Dattātreya's divine birth was not random but the flowering of the supreme merit accumulated by one of history's holiest mothers.

This compound is primarily an epithet honouring Dattātreya's divine origin rather than a personal given name; it is occasionally invoked in Dattātreya-upāsanā traditions as a contemplative title. Pronounced ah-nah-SOO-yaah-gahr-bhah-raht-nah.
