Sarvadevashiromani (सर्वदेवशिरोमणि, IAST: Sarvadevashiromaṇi) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “The crest-jewel among all the gods”. From sarva (all), deva (god), śiras (head), and maṇi (gem/jewel), this luminous name proclaims Vishnu as the jewel set atop the crown of all divinity — the highest and most brilliant among all celestial beings.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Śiromaṇi is a beautifully vivid Sanskrit compound meaning 'the gem on the head,' used metaphorically to indicate the most excellent, the pinnacle, the very best of any category. When applied to Vishnu as sarvadevashiromaṇi, it exalts him as the supreme among all gods — not merely their ruler but their very adornment and glory. This echoes the Upaniṣadic declaration that Viṣṇu is the uttama puruṣa, the supreme spirit whom the entire cosmic hierarchy reveres.

Shiromani is a genuine and beloved name in Hindu tradition, used both as a given name and as an honorific title for scholars and saints. The full form Sarvadevashiromani is reserved for liturgical use, while Shiromani remains a warm and meaningful boy's name.
