Akhilaghagna (अखिलाघघ्न, IAST: Akhilāghagna) is an Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Destroyer of all sins entirely”. Composed of akhila (entire, without remainder), āgha (sin, impurity), and ghna (slayer, destroyer), this name proclaims Viṣṇu's boundless capacity to annihilate every form of human transgression.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The prefix a-khila literally means 'without a gap,' emphasising totality, while āgha carries the sense of moral and ritual impurity accumulated across lifetimes. Ghna, from the root han (to strike down), transforms Viṣṇu into the supreme purifier whose mere remembrance severs karmic bondage at its root. The name thus encapsulates the Vaiṣṇava tenet of mokṣa through surrender to the Lord.
Viṣṇu bears this epithet in the Sahasranāma as a testament to His grace that leaves no sin unaddressed. Pronounced a-khi-lā-gha-gna, with the retroflex gha softened, it can serve as a devotionally rich given name for a boy.
Scriptural source
Akhilaghagna appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
