Aditya

Aditya is a Sanskrit name meaning belonging to Aditi or descendant of Aditi. In Hindu tradition, the Adityas are divine children of Aditi, and the singular name is also associated with the sun and Surya. The number of Adityas varies across texts, so the name is better explained through that relationship than through one fixed count.

This gives Aditya both a family-lineage structure and a strong religious significance. A family may choose it for the solar association, for devotion, or for the broader Sanskrit tradition surrounding Aditi. The sun connection is part of its established cultural use, while the literal construction points back to Aditi herself rather than simply translating as light.
