Avyaan Meaning

Avyaan has been a favourite among many parents in India. It means all protector, the all encompassing supporter in Sanskrit. It is also considered another name for Lord Vishnu.

Trend of Double Names

Lots of parents are experimenting with double names for their kids. This essentially means the child also has a middle name. Avyaan Azaad Rekhi's middle name is Azaad which literally translated means freedom.

Many are opting to have names that are independent combinations and may or may not include the parents' surnames. For example, Radha Gogol Quereshi is a combination of  the girl's name, a famous Russian writer combined with an urdu poet's name. In recent times, this is something we are seeing often.

In the case of Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao, their child adopted Azad Rao Khan as a combination of both father and mother's name.
