Kotikamada (कोटिकामद, IAST: Koṭikāmada) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Fulfiller of ten-million desires”. From koṭi (crore, ten million) and kāmada (wish-granter), this epithet reveals Viṣṇu as the inexhaustible source who satisfies not one but countless longings of his devotees.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The compound koṭi-kāmada expresses a superlative abundance: where ordinary boon-givers may grant a single wish, Viṣṇu grants desires beyond counting. Kāmada itself derives from kāma (desire, longing) and the root dā (to give), so the name literally means 'he who gives desire—crore-fold.' This name appears in the Sahasranāma to underscore that no petition to the Lord goes unheard or unfulfilled.
Viṣṇu bears this epithet as the all-satisfying Bhagavān whose grace overflows every limitation of human want. Pronounced ko-ṭi-kā-ma-da, with stress on the first syllable of each member; the 'ṭ' is a retroflex stop.
Scriptural source
Kotikamada appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
