Aditeya is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Aditeya is a Sanskrit-derived given name (Āditeya; Devanagari आदितेय) composed of Aditi, the Vedic mother of the gods, plus the patronymic suffix -eya, meaning “descendant of” or “belonging to.” It thus signifies “child of Aditi,” an epithet commonly applied to the Sun god, Sūrya, and by extension conveys senses of “solar,” “radiant,” “protector,” and “limitless.”

It appears in Vedic and Purāṇic literature as a title for the Adityas, a group of solar deities, and has seen steady modern use across India and the South Asian diaspora. Predominantly masculine, it can be unisex regionally. Common variants and spellings include Aditya, Aaditya, and Adithya; related short forms are Adi. While sometimes conflated with the separate feminine name Aditi, Aditeya retains a distinct, theophoric identity rooted in ancient hymns.
