Priyam meaning
Priyam (प्रियम्) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Love, kindness, favour, pleasure; agreeably, kindly
Also used to mean: beloved, dear
Priyam (प्रियम्) is the neuter form of Sanskrit priya, "dear, beloved". Monier-Williams gives priyam as a noun meaning love, kindness, favour and pleasure, and as an adverb meaning agreeably or kindly; the adjective priya itself means beloved, dear and favourite. Name lists give "beloved" or "dear", which follows the dictionary closely. The name is used mostly for boys, though some families give it to girls.
