About Sanskrit names

Sanskrit names flow from the classical language of ancient India, the wellspring of names across Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain traditions. Meanings run deep and often spiritual — light, lotus, peace, the divine — and many honor gods and heroines from epic literature. Names like Arjun, Priya, Dev, and Asha carry rhythmic, open-vowel sounds that translate gracefully across languages.

Meaning and origin are editorial; U.S. popularity comes from Social Security Administration public files.
