Amish (अमीष) is a name used across India, but it does not appear with a suitable meaning in the Sanskrit dictionaries. Baby-name lists give it as "honest" or "truthful", and treat it as the boys' form of Amisha. We could not find either sense in Monier-Williams, and the nearest Sanskrit word has an unrelated meaning, so we list Amish as a modern name and show the popular meaning as a popular one. The best-known bearer is Amish Tripathi, author of the Shiva Trilogy.
