Jyotiprakash meaning
Jyotiprakash (ज्योतिप्रकाश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Odia usage).
Compound of jyotis, 'light', and prakāśa, 'brightness, splendour, light'
Jyotiprakash (ज्योतिप्रकाश, Odia ଜ୍ୟୋତିପ୍ରକାଶ) joins two Sanskrit words for light. Monier-Williams gives jyotis as the light of the sun, dawn and fire, and the brightness of the sky. Prakāśa, as an adjective, means visible, shining or bright, and as a noun clearness, brightness, splendour and light. Putting the two together doubles the idea, giving a name that means something like "radiant light" or "the shining of light". The compound is not a dictionary headword. It is used in Odisha, often written as two words, Jyoti Prakash, and it belongs with other -prakash names such as Satyaprakash and Omprakash.
