Debojyoti is Bengali, Sanskrit in Origin.

Debojyoti (Bengali: দেবজ্যোতি) is a Bengali given name of Sanskrit origin meaning “light of the gods” or “divine radiance,” from deva “god” and jyoti “light, brilliance.” In Bengali phonology and orthography, Sanskrit v often appears as b, hence Deb- for Dev-. The name belongs to a family of theophoric compounds ending in -jyoti common in eastern India, and it carries auspicious connotations of spiritual illumination and learning.

Usage is strongest among Bengali- and Assamese-speaking Hindus and became widely favored in the 20th century as Sanskritic compound names spread in the region. While Jyoti alone is unisex, Debojyoti is predominantly masculine, though occasionally used for any gender. Common variants and romanizations include Debajyoti, Debjyoti, and the pan-Indian forms Devjyoti, Devajyoti, and Devojyoti; the Assamese/Bengali spelling is identical (দেবজ্যোতি). Informal short forms include Deb, Debu, and Jyoti. Related names with similar meaning are Devarshi (“sage of the gods”) and Devprakash (“divine light”).
