I bought a small wooden elephant the other day and I'd like to give him an authentic Indian name. I think that my elephant is a baby elephant. He has his trumpet upwards and curled back and his tail is on the right side of his bum. He's very playful and he's a prince. Please, when you suggest a name, don't forget to tell me the meaning of that name and the language it is in. Like in India there are lots of languages. I'll appreciate every answer!

You can still add names but I think my elephant's name will be Arvind Eknath. Arvind means lotus and Eknath means poet, saint.

In hindu mythology there is a story about an elephant disciple which is rescued from the clutches of a crocodile by lord vishnu....
that elephant was the king of the entire herd, his name was Gajendra...which literally means lord of elephants..
othernames for elephants in india are
kambhoja
gaja
ibha..
these are in sanskrit...
all indian langugages originated from sanskrit and more or less similar to it..

APPU-For your Elephant as this is most popular name for an elephant in India, and also sounds stocky just like it.
One more suggestion change, you also keep a nick name for yourself i.e. MAHAVAT, the tame of the person who rides on it, it also sounds gud to.
