Kirtiman meaning
Kirtiman (कीर्तिमान) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, की, it is a Mithun rashi name (Mrigashira nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Praised, famous
Kirtiman (कीर्तिमान) is the Hindi form of Sanskrit kīrtimat, nominative kīrtimān, 'possessing kīrti', fame. Monier-Williams glosses the adjective as praised and famous, citing the Chāndogya Upaniṣad and the Rāmāyaṇa. As a name it belongs to several figures: one of the Viśvedevas, a son of Uttānapāda, a son of Aṅgiras, and a son of Vasudeva and Devakī in the Bhāgavata and Viṣṇu Purāṇas, an elder brother of Kṛṣṇa. The feminine Kīrtimatī is a name of Dākṣāyaṇī. Name lists render it 'famous' or 'renowned', in line with the dictionary. It shares its root with Kirti and works as a fuller, masculine form of that name.
