It first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1984, reflecting the growing Indian diaspora. The name reached its peak usage in 2016, but it remains rare, never entering the top 1000. Its trajectory has been stable since the 2010s, suggesting consistent, modest use among families seeking a name with spiritual resonance. While it has not had widespread adoption in any particular state, its cultural significance in Hindu traditions gives it a timeless appeal without being common.
