Nirmama (निर्मम, IAST: Nirmama) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Free from ego-possession, the one with no 'mine'”. From the prefix nir (without, free from) and mama (mine, possessiveness — from the root mad), Nirmama points to Vishnu's absolute freedom from any sense of personal ownership, a quality the Bhagavad Gita extols as the mark of the liberated.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The word mama ('mine') is the seed of attachment, and nirmama — 'free from mine-ness' — is cited in the Bhagavad Gita as the ideal inner state of the wise (Gita 2.71, 3.30). That the supreme Lord Himself bears this name is profoundly significant: Vishnu, who owns all, claims nothing as 'His own,' acting always in perfect non-possessive grace. This epithet is a teaching disguised as a name.
Nirmama appears as an epithet of Lord Vishnu to remind devotees that true greatness transcends possessiveness. Pronounced nir-muh-mah, it is a short, elegant Sanskrit name that sits comfortably as a given name and carries a timeless philosophical resonance.
Scriptural source
Nirmama appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
