Anullanghya (अनुल्लङ्घ्य, IAST: Anullaṅghya) is an Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “He who cannot be transgressed or surpassed”. Formed from the negative prefix an and ullaṅghya (that which may be crossed over or violated), this name declares that Viṣṇu's decrees, nature, and supremacy are absolutely inviolable.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The root laṅgh means to leap over or transgress; with the prefix ud it becomes ullaṅghya, something that could theoretically be crossed. The negation an renders it utterly impossible — no law of creation, no being of any cosmos, can overstep or surpass the Lord. This name carries a strong ethical resonance as well: the dharma established by Viṣṇu is the ultimate norm that no force can annul.

Anullaṅghya is an epithet of Viṣṇu celebrating His absolute and unchallenged sovereignty. As a given name it is rare and philosophically compelling; it may be transliterated 'Anullanghya' and pronounced 'A-nul-LANG-hya' in common usage.
