Character Name
Jyoti
Jyoti Named for the lamp's flame — steady, warm, and illuminating — Jyoti suits characters who are quiet but essential presences, people whose clarity of vision helps others find their way. Unlike the blazing solar names (Ravi, Surya), Jyoti suggests an intimate, domestic light: the lamp in the window rather than the sun in the sky.
