Debmalya meaning
Debmalya (देवमाल्य) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali usage). By its first sound, दे, it is a Meen rashi name (Revati nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Compound of deva, 'god', and mālya, 'a wreath, garland; a flower'
Also used to mean: garland of god
Debmalya (देवमाल्य) is a Bengali compound of Sanskrit deva, "god", and mālya, which Monier-Williams gives as a wreath, garland or chaplet, and also as a flower. The name means "a garland for the gods" or "divine garland", the sense name lists give, and calls to mind the flower garlands offered in every Bengali home shrine and at Durga Puja. Bengali pronunciation turns deva into "deb", which explains the spelling. It is a Bengali boys' name.
