Sarvadevaikadaivata (सर्वदेवैकदैवत, IAST: Sarvadevaikadaivata) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “The one supreme deity of all the gods”. Sarva (all) + deva (gods) + eka (one) + daivata (divinity, deity worshipped) declares that even the gods themselves have but one ultimate object of worship — Vishnu alone.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Daivata refers to that which is divine or the deity to whom worship is directed, and its combination with eka makes an exclusive theological claim: all devotion, wherever offered in the cosmos, finds its true end in Vishnu. This name complements the previous epithet beautifully — He is not only their refuge but their very God. Naming a son Sarvadevaikadaivata is an act of wholehearted Vaishnava affirmation.

This epithet of Vishnu is particularly prized in the Pāñcarātra tradition, which holds Vishnu as the parama-daivata; as a personal name it is theologically rich but unwieldy, and Daivata or Daiva are simpler extractions. Pronounce sar-va-de-vai-ka-dai-va-ta clearly.
