Meaning, etymology & significance
Yajataditya (यजतादित्य) is built from yajata — "worshipful, divine, fit to be honoured" (from the same root as yajna, sacrifice) — and āditya (sun). The literal sense is "the worshipful sun, the venerable solar one." The Rig Veda uses yajata as a Vedic adjective for any worship-worthy deity.
A child named Yajataditya is therefore named with this entire Vedic-worship tradition.
