Vijay

Meaning of Vijay

Vijay is a warm, upbeat choice for any little boy—rooted in Sanskrit and carrying the clear-cut meaning of “victory.” Whether whispered as vee-JAY in Tamil (/viːˈdʒeɪ/) or vi-JAY in Hindi (/vɪˈdʒeɪ/), it sparkles with the promise of triumph and resilience. Imagine your son growing into the name’s legacy: from ancient royal courts to modern-day silver screens (hello, superstar actor Vijay!), this name turns heads and inspires confidence. Though it currently ranks around the 900s in U.S. baby-name lists—making it delightfully uncommon—Vijay feels instantly familiar, like a well-loved underdog breaking through. For parents seeking a spirited, globally resonant name that’s both distinctive and easy on the tongue, Vijay checks every box.
