Sadapriya (सदाप्रिय, IAST: Sadāpriya) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Ever beloved, perpetually dear to all”. From sadā (always) and priya (beloved, dear), this name honors Viṣṇu as the one who is eternally cherished — both by his devotees and by the cosmos that he lovingly sustains.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Priya conveys deep affection and delight, and in a theological context it points to the Lord's nature as the very object of all love and longing. As Sadāpriya, Viṣṇu is not merely occasionally endearing but is the permanent, indispensable focus of the heart's devotion. The Bhāgavata Purāṇa is filled with accounts of devotees whose entire lives were consecrated to this priya, this beloved Lord.
Sadāpriya appears as a divine epithet in Vaiṣṇava hymns and serves well as a given name; it is occasionally used for boys in South Indian Vaiṣṇava communities. Pronounced sa-dā-pri-ya, with a gentle, flowing cadence.
Scriptural source
Sadapriya appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
