JagadgatipradaH (जगद्गतिप्रद, IAST: Jagadgatiprada) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Bestower of the ultimate refuge to all worlds”. From jagat (the moving, manifest universe), gati (refuge, path, ultimate destination), and prada (one who bestows), this name proclaims that Viṣṇu alone grants every living being its final shelter and direction in cosmic existence.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The Sanskrit root gati carries layered meaning — it denotes both movement and destination, the very path of life and its ultimate goal — making this epithet a declaration that the Lord is simultaneously the way and the arrival. Prada, from the root dā (to give), confirms that this supreme refuge is not withheld but freely given, an act of infinite compassion embracing all of creation.

As an epithet of Viṣṇu, Jagadgatiprada echoes the Bhagavad Gītā's assurance that the Lord is the final gati of all beings; the name is occasionally used in devotional contexts for boys as Jagadgati or simply Gatiprada. Pronunciation: Ja-gad-ga-ti-pra-da.
