Devarajendra (देवराजेन्द्र, IAST: Devarājendra) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Lord of the king of the gods”. A triple compound of 'deva' (divine being), 'rāja' (king), and 'indra' (ruler, the greatest among), this magnificent name places Vishnu as the sovereign who reigns even over Indra, the king of the gods — establishing his absolute supremacy.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Indra is the 'rāja' (king) of the 'devas' (gods), and yet Vishnu as 'Devarājendra' stands above even that exalted throne. The suffix '-indra' means 'the best of' or 'lord among', derived from 'ind' meaning to govern with power. This layered compound thus speaks of a sovereignty that transcends celestial hierarchy entirely, placing Vishnu at the very apex of divine governance.

This epithet in the Sahasranama expresses the devotional conviction that all celestial kingship derives its legitimacy from Vishnu's supreme will. The name is grand and commanding in sound, suitable for a given name while projecting majestic spiritual authority.
