Just before going to “List of Hanuman names with meaning (correct & full information)“, let us have some brief information.
We should always remember that before doing pooja / worship of Lord Sri Hanuman, we need to do pooja / worship of Lord Sri Rama and Goddess Sri Sita Devi.
Without which Hanuman will not accept our pooja / worship. For Hanuman first most important Bhagavan (God) is Lord Sri Rama and then it is Goddess Sri Sita Devi.
Thus chanting Lord Sri Rama and Goddess Sri Sita Devi names will make Hanuman happy and in-turn Hanuman will automatically bless us.
List of Hanuman names with meaning are as given below:
1. Hanuman – He is the one who is having his jaws like ‘hanu’. Hanu = jaws, ‘man’ or manta = a divine person. Means, a person whose jaws are like hanu (very strong). In Sanskrit ‘hanu’ means jaws.
2. Anjaneya – He is the son of the Mother Anjana Devi. Anjaneya = Anjana + neya. Anjana means Mother Anjana Devi and neya means son (Anjana’s son).
3. Kesarinandana – He is the son of the Kesari (father). Kesarinandana = Kesari + nandana. Kesari means Hanuman’s father Kesari and nandana means son (Kesari’s son is Hanuman).
4. Vayuputra – He is the son of the Lord Sri Vayu Deva (Also called as Sri Mukhya Prana Deva). Vayu = Lord Sri Vayu Deva and putra means son (He is the son of Lord Sri Vayu Deva).
5. Maruti – He is from the ‘Marut loka’ (A place called Marut / मरुत्). In Sanskrit Marut or Maruta means ‘God of wind’.
6. Vajranga Bali / Bajranga Bali – He is the third most strongest person, that is, after Lord Sri Rama (Vishnu) and Goddess Sri Sita Deva (Lakshmi Devi), he is the most strongest both mentally and physically.
Hanuman is the one who has body (anga) as hard or as strong as vajra (diamond). Bajranga Bali is the corrupt version of the original name Vajranga Bali.
Vajranga Bali = Vajra + Anga + Bali = Diamond + Body + Holder. He holds a body which is as strong as diamond.
7. Sankata Mochana – He is the remover of all dangers, hardships, or hurdles from his devotees. Here sankata means hardships, dangers, hurdles etc. and mochana means remover.
8. Kapeeshwara – He is the Isha (God) of all the Kapees (Monkeys). Here Kapees means the family of creatures related to monkeys and Isha means head (God). He is the head (God) among all the Kapees.
9. Rama Doota – After Goddess Sri Sita Devi (Lakshmi Devi), he is the biggest doota (server, messenger etc.) of Lord Sri Rama (Vishnu).
10. Mahakaya – He is the most gigantic jeevatma (living being). Only two are more gigantic than him, that is, Lord Sri Rama and Goddess Sita Devi. Here Mahakaya = Maha + kaya = biggest + body (living being).
11. Mahavira – Again is the most powerful after Lord Sri Rama and Goddess Sita Devi. He is the most valiant after Lord Sri Rama and Goddess Sri Sita Devi.
12. Mahabala / Mahabali – Same with little different meaning. He is the strongest after Lord Sri Rama and Goddess Sri Sita Devi. Mahabali = Maha + bali = Greatest + strongest. He is the most greatest and strongest after Lord Sri Rama and Goddess Sita Devi.
13. Panchavaktra – He is having five faces. That is, Hayagriva (Horse face), Narasimha (Lion face), Garuda (Divine Eagle), Varaha (Boar face) and his own face of Hanuman.
These five faces are different than the Lord Sri Vishnu faces. These are not same faces as Lord Sri Vishnu avatars.
14. Mukhya Prana Deva – He is the “Primordial Life Giver” (more prominent amongst followers of Dvaita, such as Madhwas).
15. Vayu Deva – He himself is Lord Sri Vayu Deva. He is an avatar of Lord Sri Vayu Deva. Many people think Hanuman is an avatar of Lord Sri Rudra Deva (Lord Shiva). This is completely incorrect.
Nowhere it is written that Hanuman is the avatar of Lord Sri Rudra Deva. But in fact, it is written that Hanuman is an avatar of Lord Sri Vayu Deva (Maruta).
Only recently this propaganda is been done, which is completely incorrect. No original Shastras (divine Hindu Texts) says that Hanuman is an avatar of Lord Sri Rudra Deva.
16. Deenabandhave – Hanuman is the one who is always ready to help, support, protect etc. who is less blessed, but he / she should be a devotee of Lord Sri Sita Rama, to receive the blessings of Hanuman.

20. Chiranjivi – He is blessed by directly Lord Sri Rama (Vishnu), so that he can live for very very long period. He is still alive and is living on earth in a place called ‘Kimpurusha Khanda’.

25. Paravidya Parihara – Hanuman is too intelligent and he can very easily destroy the wisdom of his and Lord Sri Rama’s enemies.
