Ullas meaning
Ullas (उल्लास) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, उ, it is a Vrishabh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Light, splendour; joy, happiness; appearing; growth; a chapter
Ullas (उल्लास) is the Sanskrit ullāsa, from ud- and las, "to shine, to play". Monier-Williams gives it as light or splendour, coming forth or appearing, and joy, happiness and cheerfulness; it was also used for a chapter of a book. Name lists give Ullas as "joy" or "happiness", in line with the dictionary, and in Hindi ullās is still the word for exuberant delight. In Maharashtra the name is usually written Ulhas. It is a bright, cheerful name with a meaning that is easy to explain.
