We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.

Aviraj (अविराज) is a modern Hindu boy's name. Name lists give it as "king of the sun", "ruler of the earth" or "lord of the sky", and one treats it as a form of Abhiraj. The compound is not in Monier-Williams or Apte. Its second part is clearly rāja, "king". The first part could be the Sanskrit avi, which Monier-Williams records with rarer senses "protector, lord" and "the sun", though its everyday meaning is "sheep", so the popular meanings rest on usage rather than a dictionary entry. The name is shaped on Viraj and Abhiraj.
