Samyak meaning
Samyak (सम्यक) is a Hindu and Jain boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Completely, thoroughly; correctly, truly, properly; whole, complete
Also used to mean: perfect, right
Samyak (सम्यक) is the Sanskrit adverb samyak, "completely, thoroughly; correctly, truly, properly", which also serves in compounds for the adjective samyañc, "turned together, whole, complete, correct, right". Monier-Williams traces its use from the Rig Veda onward. The word is central to Jain thought, whose three jewels are samyak darśana, jñāna and cāritra, right faith, right knowledge and right conduct, and to Buddhism, where it names each step of the Eightfold Path. Name lists give "complete", "perfect" or "right".
