Sushumna is from the Sanskrit सुषुम्ना (Suṣumnā — most gracious, very calm, central). Sushumna is one of the Sanskrit feminine names — central to traditional Hindu Tantric + Yogic heritage. Sanskrit feminine name reflecting Hindu yogic heritage.
Sushumna does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Sushumna reduce to 8, The Visionary. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
