Prayas is a unisex given name of Indian origin, derived from Sanskrit. It means "endeavor" or "effort," signifying dedication and hard work. Prayas is composed of two parts: 'pra' meaning 'towards' and 'yas' meaning 'worship.' Thus, the name can also be interpreted as 'aiming towards divine worship.' This name gained popularity in India during the late 20th century and has since been adopted by people of various backgrounds.
"Prayas had six babies named in total from 2014 onwards."
