Meaning, etymology & significance
Brahmapriya (ब्रह्मप्रिया) is built from Brahman (the supreme absolute) + priyā (beloved). The literal sense is "beloved of Brahman" or "dear to the absolute" — a name with unusual Vedantic depth.
In Vedantic tradition the realised soul is described as brahmapriya — dear to Brahman because the Self has realised its identity with the absolute. The Bhagavad Gita's most beloved bhakti-verses use related language.
A daughter named Brahmapriya is named with this loftiest Vedantic-devotional quality.
Pronunciation: brah-ma-PRI-yaa. Pair with classical surnames.
