Archisman meaning
Archisman (अर्चिष्मान) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali usage). By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Brilliant, resplendent; fire, the god of fire; a flame
Also used to mean: sun, radiance, brightness
Archisman (अर्चिष्मान) is a Bengali boys' name from Sanskrit arciṣmat, "possessing rays", built on arcis, a ray of light or a flame. Monier-Williams gives it as "brilliant, resplendent", and as a noun for fire, the god of fire, or a flame. Name lists translate it as "sun", "radiance" or "brightness", all close to the dictionary sense, although the dictionary ties it to fire rather than the sun. The ending -mān is the ordinary Sanskrit nominative, as in Hanumān. In Bengali it is said with an opening o: "Orchishman".
