Aadividusha (आदिविदुष, IAST: Ādividuṣa) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “The primal wise one; the first and foremost knower”. From ādi (primordial, first) and viduṣa, the nominative of vidvas (one who knows, a learned one), this name reveals Viṣṇu as the original and supreme knower from whom all wisdom in creation flows.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The root vid, meaning 'to know,' yields vidvas, the Sanskrit word for a truly learned and enlightened being. By pairing it with ādi, meaning 'the very first,' the epithet establishes that Viṣṇu's omniscience is not acquired but primordial — He is the very source from which all knowledge in the universe originates. This name resonates with the Upaniṣadic vision of the Lord as the inner witness who knows all things before time itself begins.
Viṣṇu bears this name in the Sahasranāma to affirm His status as the original teacher and knower, preceding even the Vedas He reveals. Ādividuṣa is a dignified and rare given name; it may be simplified to Ādividuṣ in colloquial use, and the short vowel in the final syllable should be noted in pronunciation.
Scriptural source
Aadividusha appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
