Naṣṭaniḥśeṣadharmavid (नष्टनिःशेषधर्मविद्, IAST: Naṣṭaniḥśeṣadharmavid) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Knower of all dharmas that were utterly lost”. Naṣṭa (that which was lost, destroyed), niḥśeṣa (without remainder, completely, utterly), dharma (sacred law, righteousness), and vid (knower, from vid — to know) together describe Viṣṇu as the omniscient one who retains complete knowledge of every dharma that had been entirely obliterated during the Kali Age.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Even when the last thread of righteousness has been severed from the fabric of the world, Viṣṇu as naṣṭa-niḥśeṣa-dharma-vid holds every principle of sacred order intact within his own infinite awareness. This name is a profound statement of the Lord's role as the imperishable repository of dharma, ensuring that nothing truly righteous can be permanently erased from creation.
This epithet is contemplative and deeply theological; it is not common as a given name but has inspired the name Dharmavid, which is occasionally seen in traditional Vaiṣṇava families. Pronounced: naṣ-ṭa-niḥ-śe-ṣa-dhar-ma-vid.

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