About the name Bhaskar
Bhaskar means the one who makes light, a poetic circumlocution for the sun that Sanskrit preferred to the blunter Surya. The great medieval mathematician who bore it gave India its first satellite name and lends the name a scientific glow it has never lost.
Bhaskar is a boy name of Bengali origin, pronounced BHAAS-kur. On the NameRarity scale it scores 80 out of 100, which places it in the very rare band — a genuinely uncommon pick — most people have never met anyone with this name. Its strongest period was the 1970s.
