Gauri-saubhagya-da (गौरीसौभाग्यद, IAST: Gaurīsaubhāgyada) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Bestower of auspicious blessings upon Gaurī”. From gaurī (the fair-complexioned Goddess Pārvatī), saubhāgya (good fortune, marital bliss, auspiciousness), and da (giver), this epithet honors Vishnu as the cosmic source from whom flows the blessed fortune of the Divine Mother herself.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Gaurī is one of Pārvatī's most beloved names, evoking her golden-white radiance and her status as the ideal of wifely devotion and divine beauty. Saubhāgya in Sanskrit encompasses marital happiness, prosperity, and the radiant blessedness of a fulfilled life. Vishnu as Gaurīsaubhāgyada is thus the ultimate well-wisher of the divine feminine, affirming that the Lord's grace undergirds all auspicious feminine power in the cosmos.

This epithet beautifully bridges Vaiṣṇava and Śākta devotion, presenting Vishnu as the one who ensures the eternal welfare and glory of the Goddess. As a given name, it functions best in abbreviated or hyphenated form; pronounced gau-ree-sau-bhaa-gya-da.
