Indian Boy Names

Indian boy names go deep — most on this list descend from Sanskrit, so a short modern-sounding name like Dev (“god”), Jai (“victory”) or Aarav (“peaceful melody”) arrives with three thousand years of poetry in its pocket. Arjun and Rohan are already UK-chart regulars; Vihaan, Reyansh and Advait are the fresher wave. Each name below comes with its meaning — in this tradition, the meaning is half the choice.
