Asana
Meaning of Asana
Asana is lifted directly from Sanskrit, where it denotes the “seat” or “posture” at the heart of classical yoga, and by extension suggests poise, balance, and quiet focus—qualities parents often hope will stick past toddlerhood. In Anglo-American circles the word migrated from the yoga mat to the baby-name list in the late 20th century, with U.S. records showing only a handful of births each year; in other words, popularity is low enough that playground roll calls are unlikely to become a group meditation session. Beyond its yogic pedigree, Asana also echoes through the tech world via the project-management platform of the same name, giving the name a modern, industrious sheen. Altogether, Asana offers a brief, mellifluous sound, cross-cultural roots, and an unobtrusive distinctiveness—qualities that may appeal to parents seeking something graceful yet uncommon.
