Tejpratap meaning
Tejpratap (तेजप्रताप) is a Hindu boy's name. By its first sound, ते, it is a Tula rashi name (Vishakha nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Radiance and majesty (tejas + pratāpa)
Also used to mean: radiant power, light and strength
Tejpratap (तेजप्रताप) joins two Sanskrit words that overlap in meaning. Tejas is the glow of fire and light, and also fiery energy and majesty; pratāpa, from the verb pra-tap, "to blaze forth", is glowing heat and then splendour, glory, power and royal majesty, the word behind the name of Maharana Pratap. Together they give "radiant majesty" or "light and power", and name lists read it the same way. It is often written as two words, Tej Pratap, and is used mainly in North India, notably by the Bihar politician Tej Pratap Yadav.
