Tejveer meaning
Tejveer (तेजवीर) is a Hindu boy's name. By its first sound, ते, it is a Tula rashi name (Vishakha nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Radiant hero (tejas + vīra)
Also used to mean: radiant warrior, brave and bright
Tejveer (तेजवीर) joins two Sanskrit words: tejas, the glow of fire and light and also fiery energy and spirit, and vīra, "a brave man, a hero", which as an adjective means heroic or powerful. Together they give "radiant hero" or "brave and bright", and name lists give the same reading. The compound is a modern-style name rather than one recorded in Monier-Williams. It is used by Hindu and Sikh families, especially in North India. It should not be confused with Tegveer or Tegbir, which come from tegh, "sword".
