Krityajna (कृत्यज्ञ, IAST: Kṛtyajña) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Knower of all that is to be done; omnisciently duty-aware”. From kṛtya (what ought to be done, duty, proper action) and jña (one who knows), this name honours Vishnu as the omniscient sovereign who has perfect, unfailing knowledge of every proper action in every circumstance.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Jña comes from the root jñā (to know), and kṛtya is the gerundive of kṛ, meaning action that is obligatory or appropriate. Together they describe a quality of divine practical wisdom: Vishnu does not merely possess abstract knowledge but knows precisely what must be done in each moment of the cosmic drama, making him the infallible guide for souls seeking righteous action.
Kṛtyajña is occasionally used as a traditional given name, valued for its association with wisdom and right conduct. Pronounced kṛ-tya-jña, with the characteristic Sanskrit jña sound (roughly nya in many regional pronunciations), it has a crisp, classical ring.
Scriptural source
Krityajna appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
