About the name Devdutt

The word means god-given, and it is also what Arjuna called the conch he blew at the start of the Kurukshetra war. That pairing of a quiet gratitude with a battlefield trumpet gives the name more range than its gentle sound suggests.

Devdutt is a boy name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced dayv-DUTT. On the NameRarity scale it scores 88 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 timeless.
