Satyanarayan meaning
Satyanarayan (सत्यनारायण) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Name of a particular deity (Satya + Nārāyaṇa)
Also used to mean: lord vishnu, lord of truth
Satyanarayan (सत्यनारायण) joins Sanskrit satya, "truth", and Nārāyaṇa, a principal name of Vishnu. Monier-Williams records Satyanārāyaṇa as the name of a particular deity, known in Bengal as Satyapīr. Devotees regard him as a form of Vishnu and worship him in the Satyanarayan puja, a household rite usually performed to fulfil a vow, with a story drawn from the Skanda and Bhaviṣya Purāṇas. Name lists give "Lord Vishnu" or "lord of truth".
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Vishnu.
