Yug is a Hindi name from the Sanskrit yuga and means "age" or "era", the vast cosmic ages of Hindu cosmology such as the Satya Yuga and the Kali Yuga. It is a compact modern choice among Indian families and is often paired with names like Aarav and Vihaan. In the United States Yug had fewer than five births in 2000 and climbed from number 3226 in 2015 to number 1991 in 2025, its best rank yet.
