Maitreya

Maitreya is a baby name with significant potential and influence, especially in Buddhism. It comes in such variations as Maetraya, Maitraya and Maitreyah, and it comes from a Sanskrit word. The meaning of Maitreya is 'loving-kindness' and 'friend' or 'companion' in India. Still, it means 'compassionate one' when used as a metaphor in Nichiren Buddhism. This meaning in Buddhism comes from Buddhist eschatology, in which mention is made of a particular Buddhist Bodhisattva named Maitreya, who is said to someday appear on the Earth to be the future Buddha of this world as a direct replacement to Gautama Buddha and whose main goal will be to reinstate the Dharma. Although this Bodhisattva is most likely a male, the name is also given to females, thus making Maitreya a gender-neutral name. Although many have taken this name for themselves over the years to prove themselves the next Buddha, this name could be great for your baby.

Lucky

Maitreya lucky number is 2.

Within numerology, the 2 vibration assumes the role of the mediator, creating harmony by bringing together dissonant forces through compassion, empathy, and kindness. 2 is linked to psychic abilities and intuition, and if this number appears as a Life Path or Destiny Number, the individual will be astute to subtle energy shifts and emotional nuances. Because 2 is so sensitive, it is very conflict-averse, and can end up feeling under-appreciated or unacknowledged. 2 must avoid seeking external validation and, instead, realize that perfect equilibrium needed already exists within.
