Dvādaśārkāśirodāman (द्वादशार्कशिरोदामन्, IAST: Dvādaśārkāśirodāman) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “He garlanded at the crown with the twelve suns”. From dvādaśa (twelve), arka (sun), śiras (head/crown), and dāman (garland, wreath, from dā — to bind), this name presents Vishnu as the one who wears the twelve Ādityas — the twelve solar deities — as a radiant diadem upon His head.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The twelve Ādityas are the twelve monthly solar deities enumerated in the Vedas and Purāṇas, each governing a month of the year; by wearing them as a crown-garland, Vishnu is established as the sovereign from whom all solar light and cosmic time derive their authority. Dāman (garland) is a motif in Vaishnava iconography, where flower garlands adorning Vishnu's crown signify His lordship over all natural and celestial forces.
This vivid cosmological epithet of Vishnu in the Sahasranama situates Him as the supreme light beyond all twelve suns; its complexity makes it a subject of theological meditation rather than a practical given name.
Scriptural source
Dvādaśārkāśirodāman appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
