Debojyoti meaning
Debojyoti (देवज्योति) 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, 'divine', and jyotis, 'light'
Also used to mean: divine light, light of God
Debojyoti (देवज्योति) joins Sanskrit deva, "divine, a god", with jyotis, "light". Monier-Williams describes jyotis as the light of the sun, of dawn and of fire, and also as light understood as the divine principle and the source of understanding. The name therefore means "divine light" or "light of God", as name lists also give it. The Bengali pronunciation turns deva into "debo", so it is spelled Debojyoti, Debajyoti or Debjyoti. The film composer Debojyoti Mishra is a well-known bearer.
