Pragun meaning
Pragun (प्रगुण) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Straight, upright, honest; in good condition, excellent
Also used to mean: straightforward
Pragun (प्रगुण) is the Sanskrit praguṇa. Monier-Williams gives it as "straight, upright", used both of things and of people, and so "correct, honest"; it can also mean "in good condition, excellent". The word appears in classical works such as Kālidāsa's Raghuvaṃśa and Bāṇa's Harṣacarita. Name lists give "honest" or "straightforward", which matches the dictionary closely. As a first name Pragun is short, Sanskrit and has a clear meaning.
