Atmabhu (आत्मभू, IAST: Ātmabhū) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Self-born; one who arises from his own essence”. From ātman (self) and bhū (to be born or arise), this name declares that the Lord is self-originated, dependent on no prior cause for His existence.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The compound ātmabhū joins ātman, the innermost self or soul, with the verbal root bhū, meaning to come into being. Together they affirm that Vishnu is uncaused and self-subsistent, needing no external source for His manifestation. This quality distinguishes the Supreme from all conditioned beings, who are born through karma and external agency.
Ātmabhū appears as an epithet of Vishnu in the Vishnu Sahasranama, celebrating His absolute independence of origin; the name is pronounced 'AHT-mah-bhoo' with stress on the first syllable.

Atmabhu appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
