Aditeya meaning
Aditeya (आदितेय) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Son of Aditi; the sun; a god
Aditeya (आदितेय) is Sanskrit āditeya, "son of Aditi", formed from the name of Aditi, the mother of the gods in the Veda. Monier-Williams gives it as a name of the sun, citing the Rig Veda and the Nirukta, and from the lexicons as a god in general. It is a close cousin of Aditya, which has the same meaning. Baby-name lists give Aditeya as "son of Aditi" or "the sun", matching the dictionary.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Surya.
