Akshaj meaning
Akshaj (अक्षज) 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.
A diamond; a thunderbolt; a name of Vishnu
Also used to mean: Lord Vishnu, imperishable
Akshaj (अक्षज) is the Sanskrit akṣaja, literally "born of akṣa". Monier-Williams lists it twice on the same page as a masculine noun meaning a diamond and a thunderbolt, and as a name of Viṣṇu. Name lists usually give Akshaj as "Lord Vishnu", which the dictionary supports, and often as "indestructible" or "imperishable". That second sense belongs to related words such as akṣaya and akṣara rather than to akṣaja itself, though the hardness of a diamond makes the association easy to see. It is used by Hindu families.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Vishnu.
