As one of the oldest and largest religions in the world, Hinduism features a stunning set of themes, rituals, and stories. If it’s your faith, you may want to honor it in your son’s name, which is where Hindu boy names can help. Ranging from word names to divine beings, these names are some of the most incredible in sound, meaning, and association. Let’s get to know some together.
Hindu baby boy names aren’t very common in the U.S., but there are some out there that you may hear here and there. Bodhi is the most common, meaning “awakening.” There’s also Vihaan, whose meaning of “dawn” perfectly symbolizes your son’s start at life’s journey. Others aren’t so popular but are recognizable, like Dharma. This “ultimate law of things” makes a super cool middle name. This is also true for Karma, meaning “fate.”
Hindu boy names often have amazing meanings. Nimai has one that’s more than impressive in “filled with inner light.” There’s also Mahatma, meaning “great soul.” Aadi is another stunning find, meaning “beginning.” You can find strength with Sanjay‘s meaning “conquering,” or find mental prowess with Manjit‘s “light of the mind.”
Other Hindu boy names come from deities and their incarnations. These may have positive or negative connotations, ranging from nature-based beings to gods of chaos. Vishnu is the Hindu god of preservation, for instance. He comes in many forms, including the king Rama and the character Krishna. Hari is another epithet of Vishnu. He’s responsible for taking away sins and other ill wills. Shiva serves as the god of destruction, with one of his powerful epithets being Rudra. Indra is the king of gods, while Aryaman is the king of marriages and customs.
