Meaning of Name Hanuman / More

The moment Hanuman was born he was hungry and nothing could satisfy his hunger. When he looked around he saw the orange glowing ball called the sun. He hurried across the sky to reach King Indra's abode. Indra Dev protected the sun by hurting his Vajra at Hanuman. Hanuman was injured and fell on to the ground. Vayu, the Wind God, was enraged. The gods realized they had done wrong and immediately assembled to assuage the father and comfort the child.

Each one of the Devtas gave the Hanuman gifts. Hanu means the chin and man means withstanding the thunderbout so he got his name due to his hurt chin. Hanuman then returned home with all his gifts and grew up as a mischievous child.
