Naditya (नादादित्य, IAST: nādāditya) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Sound of the sun; the resonant solar one”. Compound of nāda (cosmic sound) + āditya (sun).

Meaning, etymology & significance

Naditya (नादादित्य) is built from nāda (the cosmic sound, the unstruck inner vibration) + āditya (sun). The literal sense is "sound of the sun" or "the resonant solar one."

In Hindu philosophical tradition nāda is one of the most subtle aspects of Brahman — the primal vibratory sound from which Om and all subsequent sounds arise. The compound Naditya combines this inner cosmic-sound with the outer cosmic-radiance of the sun.
