Raviteja meaning
Raviteja (रवितेज) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Brilliance of the sun: ravi 'sun' + tejas 'glow, splendour'
Also used to mean: sunlight
Raviteja (रवितेज) joins ravi, "the sun", with tejas, which Monier-Williams gives as glow, splendour, brilliance and light, and also as fiery energy and spiritual power. So the name means "the radiance of the sun", the meaning name lists give too. Teja is the form tejas takes in Telugu and Kannada names, and Raviteja is used in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where the Telugu film star Ravi Teja is a well-known bearer. The joined form is not a headword, but both parts are.
