Akhand meaning
Akhand (अखण्ड) 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.
Not fragmentary, entire, whole
Also used to mean: unbroken
Akhand (अखण्ड) is Sanskrit akhaṇḍa, formed from a-, "not", and khaṇḍa, "a piece or fragment", so it means something that has not been broken up. Monier-Williams gives not fragmentary, entire and whole. The word is still everyday Hindi for "unbroken" or "undivided", as in an akhaṇḍ jyoti, a lamp kept burning without a break. Baby-name lists give the name as "unbroken" or "whole", matching the dictionary.
