Nihsanga (निःसंग, IAST: Niḥsaṅga) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Without attachment, the unbound one”. From niḥ (without, free from) and saṅga (attachment, association, clinging — from sañj, 'to cling'), Niḥsaṅga names Vishnu as the one who remains eternally unattached to the fruits of His own cosmic activity.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Saṅga is the bond of attachment that ties the individual soul to the cycle of rebirth; the Bhagavad Gita repeatedly exhorts seekers to act niḥsaṅga — without clinging. That Vishnu Himself is declared niḥsaṅga reveals a supreme paradox: He who creates, sustains, and dissolves all things does so in a state of perfect freedom, untouched by any personal clinging. This is the purest expression of the divine quality of vairāgya (dispassion).
Lord Vishnu is celebrated as Niḥsaṅga in the Sahasranama to inspire devotees toward inner detachment as a spiritual practice. Pronounced nih-sung-gah, it is an elegant name occasionally given to boys in Vaishnava families as an aspiration toward liberated living.

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