Masagrya (मासाग्र्य, IAST: Māsāgrya) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “The foremost of months, supreme among all months”. From māsa (month) + agrya (foremost, chief), Māsāgrya names Viṣṇu as the finest and most sacred among all months, echoing the Gītā's declaration that He is Mārgaśīrṣa.
Meaning, etymology & significance
In Bhagavad Gītā 10.35, Kṛṣṇa declares 'māsānāṃ mārgaśīrṣo'ham' — 'among months I am Mārgaśīrṣa (Agrahāyaṇa)', the month considered most auspicious in ancient Vedic reckoning. Māsāgrya condenses this claim into a single epithet, affirming that among all divisions of time, the Lord presides as the most excellent. The name beautifully illustrates Viṣṇu's Vibhūti — His divine manifestation as the best in every category of existence.
This epithet is borne by Viṣṇu as the embodiment of time's most sacred interval, celebrated in both the Sahasranāma and the Gītā's vibhūti-yoga. Pronounced maa-SAA-grya; the conjunct consonant grya makes it a somewhat challenging name for everyday use.

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