Purvisaddha (पूर्विसद्ध, IAST: Pūrvisaddha) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Established and fulfilled from the very first”. From pūrvi (former, prior, first) + saddha (established, accomplished, fulfilled), this name salutes Viṣṇu as the one who was perfectly complete and ordained from before all beginnings.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Pūrvi carries the sense of 'she/he who is former or primeval,' and saddha (a derivative of sādh, to accomplish or establish) indicates one who is perfectly settled or perfected. Together, Pūrvisaddha speaks of a primordial completeness — the Lord whose perfection precedes the universe itself and requires no further fulfilment. This name underscores Viṣṇu's nature as the ever-accomplished absolute, untouched by incompletion or becoming.

Viṣṇu bears this epithet in the Sahasranāma to affirm His eternal, self-sufficient fullness prior to and throughout all creation. Pronunciation: puur-vi-SAD-dha; the unusual compound and uncertain textual readings suggest caution in use as a standalone name.
