Mahiyasa (महीयस, IAST: Mahīyasa) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “The most exalted; supremely great”. Mahīyasa is the comparative or superlative form from the root mah (to be great), meaning 'greater than the greatest' or 'the most highly exalted,' expressing Viṣṇu's immeasurable greatness beyond all comparison.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The name derives from mahat (great) through the comparative suffix, yielding mahīyas, meaning 'more great' or 'supremely exalted,' similar to how the Kaṭha Upaniṣad declares the Ātman as mahato mahīyān (greater than the greatest). This name in the Sahasranāma asserts that Viṣṇu's greatness exceeds even what the mind can conceive as the highest. The root mah is also linked to maha, the prefix of honor used in mahādeva, mahāviṣṇu, and other grand names.
As a name of Viṣṇu, Mahīyasa conveys transcendent grandeur and is primarily found in Sanskrit liturgical literature. It can be adapted as the given name Mahiyas for modern use, though it remains uncommon outside traditional Vaiṣṇava naming circles.

Mahiyasa appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
