Atmaj meaning
Atmaj (आत्मज) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
A son (literally 'born of oneself'); self-originated
Atmaj (आत्मज) is Sanskrit ātmaja, made of ātman, "self", and -ja, "born". Monier-Williams gives a son, one born from or begotten by oneself, citing the Rāmāyaṇa and Manu, and as an adjective self-originated; the feminine ātmajā means a daughter. The word is a tender, literary way of saying "my own son". Baby-name lists give the name simply as "son", matching the dictionary.
