Meaning & origin
Anoop has been in consistent but low-level use in the United States since it was first recorded in 1978. The name reached its peak popularity in 2001, the year it was given to the most babies in a single year. Despite never ranking in the top 1000, Anoop has maintained a stable presence, with its trajectory classified as stable and its usage most concentrated in the 2000s decade. The name is predominantly used within Indian-American communities and has not been associated with any particular U.S. state, reflecting its broad but narrow appeal.
Anoop is of uncertain origin, but it is widely used in India and among the Indian diaspora. It may derive from the Sanskrit word 'anūpa' meaning 'name' or 'fame', though alternative etymologies exist. The name has been in consistent modern use since the late 20th century.
