Arunoday meaning
Arunoday (अरुणोदय) 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.
Daybreak, the first light of morning
Also used to mean: sunrise, dawn
Arunoday (अरुणोदय) is Sanskrit aruṇodaya, made of aruṇa, the reddish dawn, and udaya, "rising". Monier-Williams defines it as daybreak, the moment when the first light of morning appears. It is a bright, hopeful name that sits well beside Arun and Aruna. Baby-name lists give the name as "sunrise" or "dawn", matching the dictionary. The actor Arunoday Singh carries the name.
