Suryateja meaning
Suryateja (सूर्यतेजा) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Telugu usage). By its first sound, सू, it is a Kumbh rashi name (Shatabhisha nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Having the power or radiance of the sun; sunshine
Also used to mean: sunlight
Suryateja (सूर्यतेजा) is the Telugu form of Sanskrit sūryatejas, from sūrya, "the sun", and tejas, "glow, splendour, energy". Monier-Williams gives it as having the power or radiance of the sun, a phrase already found in the Atharva Veda, and as a plain noun for sunshine. Name lists give "radiance of the sun" or "sunlight", which match the dictionary. It is a modern name used mainly in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, often written as two words, Surya Teja.
