Prashanth is of Sanskrit origin, translating to 'peaceful' or 'tranquil'. It is a unisex name, often used for males in India and among the Indian diaspora. The name has gained international recognition due to its association with notable figures like Prashant Kishore, an Indian political strategist, and Prashanth Chopra, a prominent businessman. Pronunciation may vary slightly based on regional dialects, but it is commonly rendered as 'Prah-shanth'.
"Prashanth was quite popular as a baby name in 1999, with six babies being named that year."
