Indian Baby Boy Names You'll Want For Your Son

Posted by Mittie Cheatwood on Monday, June 10, 2024

The name Yash has never lost its popularity in India, remaining relevant and well-liked over several decades. It has Sanskrit origins, per BabyCenter, with meanings that refer to success, grandeur, luxury, and fame — all the things an average person dreams of achieving in life. Who knows, maybe naming your son Yash could very well set him on the path to prosperity measured by all that and more?

Yash as a name for boys is highly versatile, allowing itself to be flexibly used per taste. While many parents pick the name as is for their sons, several others go for an extended version, such as Yashwant, Yashraj, Yashaswi, or Yashas. The Indian film industry, the life and blood of sorts for the country, has brought many a Yash to the spotlight. Hindi cinema's most famous figure with the name was the late filmmaker Yash Chopra whose namesake production house has rolled out several of the films the world knows Bollywood for — from "Chandni" to "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge."

Though Yash is easy on the tongue with a pronunciation that isn't too demanding, the glory of the name isn't so widespread across countries like the U.K., apart from Indian communities, as noted by BabyNames.co.uk
