Garuda is Sanskrit in Origin.
Garuda is a Sanskrit name (गरुड, garuḍa) meaning “eagle, great bird,” often glossed as “devourer,” and in Hindu tradition denotes the king of birds and divine mount (vāhana) of Viṣṇu. Texts from the Vedas through the Purāṇas celebrate Garuda as a solar, sky-soaring protector and implacable foe of serpents, with the Garuḍa Purāṇa bearing his name. The figure spread widely across South and Southeast Asia, appearing in Buddhist and Jain literature as well.
As a given name, Garuda is used for boys in India and Nepal and, via cultural prestige, in Indonesia and among the diaspora; it connotes speed, strength, and guardianship. Variants and transliteration forms include Garud and Garudha; related epithets used as names are Vainateya (“son of Vinatā”) and Suparna (“beautiful-winged”). Cognate regional forms include Pali Garuḷa and Thai Krut; Indonesian keeps Garuda unchanged.
