Navditya (नवादित्य, IAST: navāditya) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “New sun; the fresh radiance”. Compound of nava (new, fresh) + āditya (sun).

Meaning, etymology & significance

Navditya (नवादित्य) is built from nava (new, fresh) + āditya (sun). The literal sense is "new sun, fresh radiance" — and the compound has additional weight from the nine āditya tradition in Hindu astrology: the nine grahas are sometimes collectively called nava-āditya.

A child named Navditya is therefore named with both the freshness and the cosmic-multiplicity of the solar tradition.
