Paramartha (परमार्थ, IAST: Paramārtha) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “The Supreme Purpose, the highest truth”. A compound of 'parama' (highest, supreme) and 'artha' (meaning, purpose, wealth, goal), Paramārtha names Vishnu as the ultimate purpose behind all existence and the highest truth that gives meaning to every soul's journey.
Meaning, etymology & significance
In Sanskrit philosophical usage, 'paramārtha' is the technical term for ultimate or absolute truth, as opposed to 'vyāvahārika' (conventional, transactional truth). By bearing this name, Vishnu is identified not as one value among many but as the final, irreplaceable meaning of all striving — the artha that makes every other artha worthwhile.
Paramārtha is recognized across multiple Indic philosophical schools — Advaita Vedanta, Buddhist Madhyamaka, and Vaishnava theology alike — as a designation for the highest order of truth. As a given name it is rare but noble; pronounced pa-ra-MAAR-tha, the long ā in 'māra' should be held with care.
Scriptural source
Paramartha appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
