Sarvadevamūrti (सर्वदेवमूर्ति, IAST: Sarvadevamūrti) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “He who is the embodied form of all gods”. Sarva (all) + deva (god) + mūrti (form, embodied presence) declares that Vishnu is not one deity among many but the single divine body in which every divine quality and every god finds its ultimate dwelling.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Mūrti in Sanskrit means both an image and the actual embodied presence of the sacred, so the name carries the force of saying that the Lord literally is all the gods made manifest in one glorious form. This is the theological heart of the Vaishnava understanding of Vishnu: He is the viśvarūpa, the universal form, in whom Indra, Agni, Sūrya, and all other devas find their truest expression. A child bearing this name is a living reminder of the unity underlying all divine multiplicity.

This epithet appears in the Sahasranama to teach that devotion to Vishnu is simultaneously devotion to the entire pantheon; Mūrti alone is used as a respectful suffix or standalone name in South Indian traditions. Pronounce sar-va-de-va-mūr-ti with a long ū.
