Aparajita (अपराजित, IAST: Aparājita) is an Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “The unconquered, the ever-victorious one”. Composed of the negative prefix a- and parājita (defeated, from parā + √ji), Aparājita declares Viṣṇu as the one who has never been vanquished — eternally triumphant over all forces of adharma.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The root √ji means to conquer; parājita means one who has been overcome; thus a-parājita is the ever-undefeated. In Vaiṣṇava theology, Viṣṇu's victory is not merely martial but cosmic — He is unconquered by māyā, time, death, or any opposing force. This name resonates across multiple traditions: it appears in the Viṣṇu Sahasranāma, as an epithet of Śiva, and as a name of the goddess Durgā, reflecting its pan-Hindu celebration of invincibility.
Aparājita has been a beloved given name for Hindu boys for centuries, appearing in inscriptions, royal names, and modern usage across India, particularly in Maharashtra, Bengal, and Andhra Pradesh. Pronounce with a long ā: A-pa-rā-ji-ta; the colloquial short form Aparājit is common in Bengal.
Scriptural source
Aparajita appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
