Meaning & Origin

Ved is a boy's baby name of Sanskrit origin, from the Sanskrit veda, meaning 'knowledge, sacred wisdom' — from the root vid (to know, to perceive). The Vedas are Hinduism's most ancient and sacred scriptures.

In Hindu tradition, the Vedas — four ancient texts including the Rigveda — are the foundation of all dharmic knowledge, revealed to ancient seers and forming the basis of Hindu philosophy, ritual, and cosmology. Naming a child Ved invokes this entire tradition of sacred wisdom. Short, profound, and deeply rooted in Vedic civilization.
