fush-montor bro is correct.

This word has a closer link to Sanskrit. Regularly used in Bengali literature under British India. Common theme is someone who defied death which seemed inevitable, in scenarios like having the illness during an epidemic but still got cured, or getting attacked by a deadly animal during a jungle trip but still came back alive, got hurt badly near death in a war but still remained strong and ready for the next, in cricketing terms surviving deadly overs while keeping calm to ensure victory etc.

Mrittunjoy is the Bangla equivalent to names like Chuck Norris, Sunny Deol, Rajnikant, Hathuresinghe.

Shouldn't it be "Mrittunjoyi" then?

That makes a whole lot more sense than the meanings I guessed.

Mrittunjoy = He who defies death

[aklemalp]

both mean the same thing..loose variations of each other...interesting thing about his name is that it’s not a common bengali muslim name; Mrittunjoy being the decorative name of the hindu god Shiva and all that...he must have been named after the literal meaning of the word and it DOES sound bada$$!
His nickname Nipun of course means somone who’s flawless at his craft...let’s hope that is indeed the case with our man

Arnab would get a kick out of this thread.

You just have to search "Mrittunjoy" on FB to find that it's not a very uncommon name in Bangladesh. Mostly Hindus, but lots of Muslims too. Some of my favorites:

Shifat Mrittunjoy
Mrittunjoy Mistry (sweet death over victory?)
Mrityunjoy Chakraborty (now that's a mouthful)

[Shubho]

All we need now is for the boy to live up to his name.

Taskin was never a real deal. For some it may be, who were gugu Gaga about his looks, height and speed.Some of us saw potential, but never declared sure success like others.

He had some early success here and there with a promise of good future but he rarely had constant success.

Not that I am saying this kid real deal, as I haven't seen him, but Taskin is a bad example to compare with this kid.
