Uday is a boy's baby name of Sanskrit origin, meaning 'rise' or 'sunrise.' In Sanskrit, udaya refers to the rising of a celestial body — the dawn as a moment of new beginning and divine light. Used widely across India, Uday expresses the hope that this child will rise brilliantly, like the morning sun breaking over the horizon.
Short and luminous, Uday carries the optimism of dawn in every syllable — a name that starts the day for whoever bears it.
Uday climbed 3588 spots in the last 20 years — from #11264 to #7676.
