Kshamambodhi (क्षमाम्बुधि, IAST: Kṣamāmbudhi) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Ocean of forgiveness and forbearance”. From kṣamā (patience, forgiveness, forbearance) and ambudhi (ocean, sea), this name paints Viṣṇu as an inexhaustible sea of compassionate endurance whose depths of pardon can never be fathomed or exhausted.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Kṣamā is one of the highest virtues in dharmaśāstra, encompassing both the active grace of forgiveness and the quiet strength of endurance under provocation. Ambudhi, literally 'water-receptacle,' evokes the boundlessness of the ocean — suggesting that no weight of human failing can fill or overflow the Lord's mercy. The name thus presents divinity not as a punishing judge but as an infinitely patient refuge.
This epithet belongs to Viṣṇu in the Sahasranāma, celebrating the quality of divine forbearance central to Vaiṣṇava bhakti. As a given name, Kṣamāmbudhi is rare but deeply auspicious, pronounced ksha-maam-bu-dhi; parents may use the short form Kṣamaj for daily address.
Scriptural source
Kshamambodhi appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
