    No problem, adam:

    Sanskirt: अद
    Hindi: एडम
    Arabic: آدم

    I hope that is what you were looking for, and that I did not get anything incorrect.

    I have seen your other thread.
    The way I found these was by comparing dictionaries. For example: Sanskirt dictionary for "Adamant," "adamantu," etc. (or something like that) and finding what is common between each. (in this case, "अद" was the only connection between all words with "adam")
    However, I could not find your last name using this method in Sanskirt.

    Here is what I found, first and sur, for:
    Hindi: एडम कॉस्टेलो
    Arabic: آدم كوستيلو
    (you'll notice your first name on the right in Arabic, because, as you may know, Arabic reads right to left.)

    After reading further into the basics behind Sanskrit and Hindi, I learned that what I had for you for Hindi is most likely correct for Sanskrit also.

    Sanskrit and Hindi use the same "letters" for the most part in their writing, and the pronunciation is the same.
    Therefore, when translating words, it is different for the two languages. However, when translating something that is universal (such as names), most of the time, Sanskrit and Hindi are the same thing.

    Occasionally, they will be different, and I am not claiming this to be 100% sure. However, it is most likely.

    In HIndi & Sanskrit,
    The name Adam is written similarly as एडम

    Both Sanskrit & Hindi [in fact Marathi & Nepali, too] use the same Devanagari script [The Script of City of Gods]. It is a phonetic script i.e. the names are written as they are spoken. As the same script is used names are written mostly similarly. Only in a small percentage of names, they need to be written differently due to differences of the pronunciation of words in these two languages.

    Thanks for confirming my post, and using your smarter-with-this-stuff-than-me skills to further elaborate on my findings!



    There are many different possibilities for strength.
    These are what I would believe to be the best for you.

    पौरुष / वीर्य / ओजस्

    The first means: Heroism, strength, power, manliness.
    The second means: Bravery, heroism, courage, stregnth.
    The third means: Bodily stregnth, energy, strength, power.

    There are two words explicitely for Champion:

    विजेता / विजेत्री
