Omaditya (ओमादित्य, IAST: omāditya) is an Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Sun of Om; the primordial sound-radiance”. Compound of Om (the primordial syllable) + āditya (sun).

Meaning, etymology & significance

Omaditya (ओमादित्य) is built from Om (the primordial syllable, the cosmic sound) + āditya (sun). The literal sense is "sun of Om" — combining the most ancient sound-symbol with the most ancient light-symbol in Hindu tradition.

The Mandukya Upanishad declares Om to be "all that is, all that was, all that shall be" — and the Gayatri Mantra praises the sun (Savitr) as the supreme. Omaditya combines these two great themes.
