Aritra

Aritra (Bengali: অরিত্র) or Aritro is a masculine South Asian name mostly common among people of Bengali origin in India and Bangladesh. The name generally means "one who shows the right path" or "navigator". The meaning derives from a earlier usage meaning "helmsman" or "one who steers a sailboat". Some other sources claim its meaning as "one who kills enemies".

A variant of this name, Aritraa is a less frequent feminine name also found among Bengalis.
