139 Remarkable Gujarati Boy Names With Meanings

The people of Gujarat, known as Gujaratis, are famous for their rich traditions and vibrant culture. Gujarati boy names reflect the values and heritage of the Gujarati-speaking community, with many derived from ancient Sanskrit scriptures, mythology, and nature. These names carry deep meanings representing admirable qualities and aspirations. In Hindu-Gujarati families, the first letter of a baby’s name is determined by their astrological charts. According to Gujarati tradition, the child’s paternal aunt selects the baby’s name. However, parents can provide the aunt with a list of names they prefer, and she can choose the one she likes the most.

One distinctive characteristic of these names is their association with Lord Krishna. As many Gujarati families are devotees of Lord Krishna, baby names are often derived from his names. For instance, Muralidhar (one who holds the flute), Radheyshyam (a portmanteau of Radhe, meaning prosperity, and Shyam, meaning dark blue), and Mukund (giver of freedom) are names of Lord Krishna. Another distinctive feature is the depiction of admirable human qualities. For instance, names such as Jigishu (ambitious), Yuvan (youthful), and Dhaval (white or beautiful) represent such traits. Below is a list of more such meaningful Gujarati names you may choose for your little prince.
