Premanand meaning
Premanand (प्रेमानंद) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Preman, love + ānanda, joy, bliss: the bliss of love
Also used to mean: joy of love
Premanand (प्रेमानंद) joins Sanskrit preman, "love, affection", with ānanda, "joy, bliss". Monier-Williams gives ānanda as happiness and joy and, in Vedanta, the pure bliss that is an attribute of Brahman, so the name reads as "the bliss of love" or "joy in divine love". It has long been a name for devotees and poets. Premanand Bhatt was a celebrated seventeenth-century Gujarati poet of ākhyāna verse narratives, and Premanand Swami composed devotional songs in the Swaminarayan tradition. Name lists give "joy of love".
