Divine, celestial, or shining one
Derived from the Sanskrit word for a deity or celestial being, it shares the same Indo-European root as the Latin 'deus'. In Hindu mythology, it refers to a benevolent supernatural being. It is often used as a prefix or suffix in longer names but stands alone as a short, powerful choice.
