Kasturi

Kasturi is a name with deep roots in Sanskrit, an ancient Indo-Aryan language. The word 'kasturi' primarily refers to musk, a highly fragrant substance used in perfumes, and also to a yellow pigment. Due to its association with pleasant scents and vibrant colors, the name has historically been perceived as auspicious and beautiful. Its usage spans across various regions influenced by Indian culture.

The name's unisex nature likely stems from the fact that its core meaning (fragrance, beauty) is not inherently gender-specific. While it might be more commonly found in one gender in certain regions or time periods, its linguistic origin allows for broader application. It continues to be used in contemporary times, particularly in South Asia, maintaining its traditional connotations.
