This earlier Sanskrit name was supplanted by the form containing the ending -īśvara "lord" but Avalokiteśvara does not occur in Sanskrit before the seventh century. The original form Avalokitasvara appears in Sanskrit fragments of the fifth century. This translation was favored by the tendency of some Chinese translators, notably Kumārajīva, to use the variant 觀世音 Guānshìyīn "who perceives the world's lamentations"-wherein lok was read as simultaneously meaning both "to look" and "world" (Sanskrit loka Chinese: 世 pinyin: shì). It is now understood Avalokitasvara was the original form, and is also the origin of Guanyin "Perceiving sound, cries". It was initially thought that this was due to a lack of fluency, as Guanyin indicates the original Sanskrit form was instead Avalokitasvara, "who looked down upon sound", i.e., the cries of sentient beings who need help.

The earliest translation of the name Avalokiteśvara into Chinese by authors such as Xuanzang was as Guānzìzài ( Chinese: 觀自在), not the form used in East Asian Buddhism today, Guanyin ( Chinese: 觀音). It does appear in the Cambodian form of the name, Lokesvarak. The word loka ("world") is absent from the name, but the phrase is implied. Combined, the parts mean "lord who gazes down (at the world)". In accordance with sandhi (Sanskrit rules of sound combination), a+ īśvara becomes eśvara. The name Avalokiteśvara combines the verbal prefix ava "down", lokita, a past participle of the verb lok "to notice, behold, observe", here used in an active sense and finally īśvara, "lord", "ruler", "sovereign" or "master". Female Bodhisattvas don’t exist in Indian Buddhist literature, but exist in Tibetan Buddhist literature. Bodhisattva is a Sanskrit masculine noun. In Thailand and Cambodia, he is called as Lokesvara. He is known as Natha Deviyo in Sri Lanka and Lokanatha In Myanmar(Burma). In the Kathmandu valley, this figure is known as Jana Baha Dyah, Karunamaya or Seto Machindranath. In China, Taiwan and other Chinese communities, Avalokiteśvara has evolved into the somewhat different female figure Guanyin or Guanshiyin, also known as Kannon or Kanzeon in Japan, Gwanseum in Korea and Quán Thế Âm in Vietnamese. This bodhisattva is variably depicted, described and portrayed in different cultures as either male or female.
