Vasanta (वसन्त, IAST: Vasanta) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Spring, the season of blossoming and divine beauty”. From the root vas (to shine, to dwell, to be bright), Vasanta is the spring season — and as a name of Viṣṇu it celebrates the Lord as the luminous, life-giving brilliance that causes the world to bloom.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Vasanta, spring, is the most celebrated of India's six seasons, associated with flowering, renewal, music, and the festival of Holi. The root vas links the season to light and radiant dwelling — a place where beauty resides. In the Bhagavad Gītā (10.35), Kṛṣṇa declares Himself to be Vasanta among the seasons, and this Sahasranāma entry echoes that glorious self-revelation: the Lord is the living spring that awakens devotion in the hearts of all beings.
As Vasanta, Viṣṇu is worshipped as the divine source of all natural beauty and seasonal renewal, His grace felt in every blossom of the spring. Pronounced va-SAN-ta; it is a warm, melodious name with a long history of use for both boys and, in some regional traditions, girls.
Scriptural source
Vasanta appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
