About the name Tejas
Tejas is the inner fire that Sanskrit texts describe glowing in sages and warriors alike, an energy rather than a light source. India named a fighter aircraft after it, which has given a rather philosophical word an unexpectedly modern, aeronautical swagger.
Tejas is a boy name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced TAY-jahs. On the NameRarity scale it scores 87 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 2000s.
