Kaustav, of Sanskrit origin, means 'born from the sun'. It is a masculine given name popular in India, particularly among Bengali Hindus. The name suggests radiance and warmth, much like the celestial body it is derived from. Kaustav is composed of two Sanskrit words: 'Kausta', meaning 'sun', and 'ava', signifying 'born'. Traditionally, names beginning with 'K' are considered auspicious in Hindu culture. This name carries a sense of nobility and brightness, making it a distinguished choice for parents seeking a meaningful and unique name for their child.
"Kaustav saw six newborns in 2009, with no additional births recorded since."
