Satyapal meaning
Satyapal (सत्यपाल) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Protector of truth; the name of a sage in the Mahābhārata
Satyapal (सत्यपाल) joins satya, "truth", with pāla, which Monier-Williams gives as a guard, protector or keeper. Together they mean a protector of truth, and that is how name lists give it. The name is old: Monier-Williams records Satyapāla as the name of a sage in the Mahābhārata. It is used mainly in north India, often written as two words, Satya Pal, and was carried by the politician Satya Pal Malik, who served as governor of several states.
