Presenting Siddharth Altair Thomas, born March 26th, 2009.
.
If you want to see the set at Flickr, here is the Siddharth set.
He is named after Siddhārtha Gautama. So like his older brother Aristotle, he is named after a philosopher. His name is Sanskrit/Hindi meaning accomplished, he who has achieved his goals, or a few others of like nature depending on who is doing the translation. Altair is Arabic for flying eagle, and is also Greek (hey! another Greek name that starts with an A) for star, though we’ll probably use the Arabic meaning.
As we understand it, the version without an A at the end, which his namesake has, is Sanskrit, but when translated to Hindi (and I guess then into English) the A gets added.
