Niramaya (निरामय, IAST: Nirāmaya) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Free from all disease, perfectly untouched by affliction”. Formed from the negative prefix 'nir' and 'āmaya' (disease, ailment, defect), Niramaya names Vishnu as the one whose divine nature is absolutely free from every form of affliction or impurity.
Meaning, etymology & significance
In Sanskrit medical and philosophical literature, 'āmaya' covers physical illness as well as the deeper maladies of the soul — desire, aversion, and ignorance. By bearing the epithet 'nirāmaya,' Vishnu is declared wholly beyond every such ailment. His very remembrance is regarded in the tradition as a remedy for the sufferings of His devotees.
This name is considered auspicious for children because it invokes the Lord's pristine, wholesome nature and expresses a parent's prayer for the child's wellbeing. Pronounced nee-RAA-mah-yah, it is smooth and melodious in daily use.
Scriptural source
Niramaya appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
