Puruṣṭuta (पुरुष्टुत, IAST: Puruṣṭuta) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “He who is praised by multitudes”. From puru (many, much) and stuta (praised, from √stu), this Vedic-flavored name celebrates Vishnu as the One whose glory is hymned by countless sages, gods, and devoted souls across every age.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The prefix puru (पुरु) is a Vedic form meaning 'many' or 'abundantly,' cognate with the later classical bahu; stuta (स्तुत) is the past passive participle of √stu, to praise or eulogize. Together they form a compound of elegant brevity that encapsulates the universal devotion offered to the Lord — He is not praised by one lineage or one tradition but by the entire chorus of creation.
Puruṣṭuta appears in Vedic hymns as an epithet of Indra and, in Vaishnava usage, is applied to Vishnu as the ultimately praised deity. It adapts well as a given name for a Hindu boy; the soft, symmetrical syllable structure — Pu-ruṣ-ṭu-ta — makes it both pronounceable and sonorous.
Scriptural source
Puruṣṭuta appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
