The poet Sylvia Plath began her heartfelt and poignant poem Child with this memorable line: "Your clear eye is the one absolutely beautiful thing." It captures the purity and innocence of babies and the simple joy and brightness they radiate. Arjun, a boy's name of Sanskrit origin, means "bright," "shining," and "clear," making it an apt choice for your precious and pure little bundle! No doubt your little Arjun will be the light of your life from the moment he arrives.
