Devahutiatmaja (देवहूत्यात्मज, IAST: Devahūtyātmaja) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Son born of Devahuti”. Devahūti was the daughter of Manu and the devoted wife of the sage Kardama; their son, the great Kapila Muni, is identified with Vishnu, making Devahūtyātmaja — 'son of Devahūti' — a direct epithet of the Lord in His Kapila avatāra.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Ātmaja, from ātman (self, soul) and ja (born), is a Sanskrit word for 'son,' reflecting the ancient understanding that a child is a manifestation of the parent's own self. Devahūti, whose name means 'one who invokes the gods' (from deva + hūti, an invocation), was a figure of extraordinary spiritual aspiration, and her fervent tapas drew Vishnu Himself to take birth as her son. The name thus celebrates not only the Lord's incarnation but also the power of maternal devotion as a vessel for the Divine.
In the Bhāgavata Purāṇa this name is intimately connected to the Kapila avatāra, through whom the Sāṃkhya philosophy was first revealed to humankind. Pronounced de-va-hū-ty-āt-ma-ja, it is more suited to liturgical use than everyday given-name use, though Ātmaja alone is a warm and usable name.
Scriptural source
Devahutiatmaja appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
