Nityanand meaning
Nityanand (नित्यानन्द) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Eternal happiness
Also used to mean: eternal bliss
Nityanand (नित्यानन्द) is Sanskrit nityānanda, from nitya, "eternal", and ānanda, "happiness, bliss". Monier-Williams gives it as eternal happiness and records it as the name of several authors. Name lists give "eternal bliss", matching the dictionary. The name is honoured in Gaudiya Vaishnavism through Nityananda, the close companion of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Bengal, whose birth is celebrated as Nityananda Trayodashi, and Bhagawan Nityananda of Ganeshpuri was a revered twentieth-century saint in Maharashtra.
