Soumyaranjan meaning
Soumyaranjan (सौम्यरंजन) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Odia usage).
Compound of saumya, 'gentle, mild, moon-like', and rañjana, 'pleasing, delighting'
Soumyaranjan (सौम्यरंजन) is a typically Odia name that joins two Sanskrit words. Saumya means gentle, mild and placid, a sense that grew out of its older meaning "moon-like". Rañjana means pleasing, charming or delighting, and in its literal sense colouring. Together they suggest "a gentle one who brings delight". Names ending in -ranjan, such as Biswaranjan and Smrutiranjan, are used mainly in Odisha, and the name is often written as two words, Soumya Ranjan, as in the Odia politician Soumya Ranjan Patnaik.
