Satyendra meaning
Satyendra (सत्येन्द्र) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Chief in truth (satya 'truth' + indra 'chief, best')
Also used to mean: lord of truth
Satyendra (सत्येन्द्र) joins Sanskrit satya, "truth", and indra. Monier-Williams gives indra as the name of the Vedic king of the gods and, at the end of a compound, as "best, chief, first", so Satyendra is "chief in truth" or "lord of truth". The compound itself is not in the dictionary, which points to a later formation on the pattern of names such as Rajendra and Surendra. Name lists give "lord of truth", matching this reading. The physicist Satyendra Nath Bose, after whom the boson is named, carried the name.
