Hansraj

Originating from Sanskrit and Hindi, Hansraj is a boy’s name that means “King of Swans.” This alluring meaning will not only conjure associations between baby and the eponymous beautiful white birds but also has deep religious connotations. In Hinduism, the hamsa—a swan or goose—is the mount or vehicle the god Brahma rides. It is also a powerfully spiritual creature. The swan is symbolic of a graceful demeanor and a liberated soul. To be named after the hamsa is a distinction that baby Hansraj will be proud to hold throughout his life.
