Adithya

Meaning of Adithya

Adithya, a masculine name of Sanskrit origin—variant of the ancient “Aditya”—literally means “sun” or “son of Aditi,” conjuring an image as vivid as a dawn breaking over a tranquil horizon. In Vedic cosmology the Adityas form a pantheon of solar deities entrusted with steering both the passage of daylight and the cycles of time, an association that bestows the name with mythic gravitas without consigning it to obscurity. First recorded among U.S. newborns in the late 1990s, Adithya’s standing on the Social Security Administration’s annual chart has hovered in the 900s ever since, illustrating subtle ebb and flow yet a steadfast core of admiration. Warmly inviting yet intellectually nuanced—and unlikely, one hopes, to convene toddler-level astrophysics seminars—Adithya offers parents a choice that feels at once timeless and strikingly modern.
