Nirvikalpa (निर्विकल्प, IAST: Nirvikalpa) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Beyond doubt and mental differentiation, undivided”. From 'nir' (free from) and 'vikalpa' (conceptual differentiation, mental option, doubt), Nirvikalpa names Vishnu as pure, undivided awareness in whom no mental construction or duality can find any ground.
Meaning, etymology & significance
In Yoga and Advaita Vedanta, 'nirvikalpa samādhi' is the highest state of absorption in which all conceptual distinctions are dissolved; the epithet applied to Vishnu indicates that He is by nature in that supreme, undifferentiated state eternally. 'Vikalpa' signifies the mind's tendency to bifurcate reality into options and opposites, a tendency utterly absent in the Lord. Thus He is the very ground of non-dual consciousness.
Devotees use this name to meditate on Vishnu's nature as pure, conception-free awareness. Pronounced neer-vih-KAL-pah, it is familiar through Vedantic discourse and carries a meditative depth that suits a spiritually oriented name.

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