Kotindujagadanandi (कोटिन्दुजगदानन्दिन्, IAST: Koṭindujagadānandi) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “He who delights the world with ten million moons”. Formed from koṭi (ten million), indu (moon), jagat (world), and ānandi (one who gives bliss), this name celebrates Vishnu as the inexhaustible source of cooling, luminous joy poured upon all creation.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The Sanskrit indu poetically denotes the moon, the celestial body that soothes and nourishes, while jagat encompasses the entire moving universe. Koṭi amplifies the image beyond measure — Vishnu's grace is as if ten million moons were simultaneously showering their silver light upon every living being. The suffix -ānandi indicates an active giver of ānanda (bliss), making this name a declaration of Vishnu's role as the eternal source of cosmic delight.

As a name of Vishnu in the Sahasranama tradition, it evokes his Soma-like quality of nourishing devotees with transcendental joy. Pronunciation: KOH-teen-doo-jah-gad-AA-nan-dee; the name is elaborate and ceremonial in character.
