Apratim meaning
Apratim (अप्रतिम) 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.
Unequalled, incomparable, without a match
Also used to mean: matchless
Apratim (अप्रतिम) is Sanskrit apratima, formed from a-, "not", and pratimā, "an image, a likeness or counterpart", so it describes someone who has no equal. Monier-Williams gives unequalled, incomparable and without a match. The word is still used in Hindi, Marathi and Bengali to praise something as unmatched. Baby-name lists give Apratim as "incomparable" or "matchless", matching the dictionary.
