Nihsimapauru (निःसीमपौरुष, IAST: Niḥsīmapauruṣa) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “He of boundless, limitless divine heroism”. From niḥ- (without), sīmā (boundary or limit) and pauruṣa (heroism, manly power, from puruṣa 'person' or 'man'), this epithet declares Vishnu's valour and sovereign might to be utterly without frontier.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Niḥsīma is a compound of the privative niḥ ('without' or 'devoid of') and sīmā ('boundary,' 'limit,' 'border'), together meaning 'limitless' or 'unbounded.' Pauruṣa, derived from puruṣa, denotes heroic prowess, virility, and the power of conscious agency; in theological usage it encompasses the Lord's infinite capacity to act, protect, and sustain. This name thus glorifies Vishnu as the Mahāpuruṣa, the Supreme Person whose heroic power knows no measure, horizon, or exhaustion.

Niḥsīmapauruṣa is a philosophical and devotional compound epithet encountered in Vaishnava stotras; as a given name it is rare and carries deep theological weight, perhaps best shortened to Niḥsīma or Pauruṣa for daily use. Pronounced nih-SEE-ma-pau-ROO-sha, with careful attention to the visarga in the initial syllable.
