Abhyuday meaning
Abhyuday (अभ्युदय) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Sunrise; rise, elevation, prosperity, happiness
Abhyuday (अभ्युदय) is the Sanskrit abhyudaya, from abhi-, "towards, over", and udaya, "rising". Monier-Williams gives its first sense as sunrise or the rising of the heavenly lights, then the beginning of something, and above all elevation, increase, prosperity, happiness and a good outcome, citing Manu and the Rāmāyaṇa; it can also mean a festive celebration. In Hindi abhyuday is a formal word for rise or progress, as of a nation or a cause. Name lists give Abhyuday as "rise", "prosperity" or "sunrise", matching the dictionary.
