Suryaprakash

Suryaprakash meaning

Suryaprakash (सूर्यप्रकाश) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, सू, it is a Kumbh rashi name (Shatabhisha nakshatra) in the North Indian table.

Light of the sun (sūrya 'sun' + prakāśa 'light, splendour')

Also used to mean: sunlight

Suryaprakash (सूर्यप्रकाश) joins Sanskrit sūrya, "the sun or its deity", with prakāśa, which Monier-Williams gives as clearness, brightness, splendour, lustre and light, a word used since the Rigveda. Together they give "light of the sun". Monier-Williams records Sūryaprakāśa itself only as the title of a work, so as a personal name it is built from familiar parts rather than taken from a single dictionary entry. Name lists give Suryaprakash as "sunlight" or "light of the sun", matching its parts. It is often written as two words, Surya Prakash.
