Sahasra is a Sanskrit name that means "thousand", a number that stands for abundance and completeness in Hindu tradition: the Vishnu Sahasranama lists the thousand names of the god, and the sahasrara is the thousand-petaled lotus at the crown of the head in yoga. The name is popular with Telugu-speaking families in India and in the Indian American community. In the United States it peaked at number 1602 in 2010 and ranks number 2641 in 2025 with 66 girls.
