Ranvijay meaning
Ranvijay (रणविजय) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Victory in battle: raṇa 'battle' + vijaya 'victory'
Also used to mean: victorious in war, victor in battle
Ranvijay (रणविजय) joins raṇa, "battle, war", with vijaya, "victory, conquest, triumph", which as an adjective also means "victorious". Together they give "victory in battle" or "victorious in war", as Indian name lists also say. Vijaya is the same word behind Vijay and Vijayadashami, the festival of Rāma's victory. The compound is not a dictionary headword but both parts are. The name is used mainly in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Punjab; the television host Rannvijay Singha spells it with a double n.
