Sarvakamya (सर्वकाम्य, IAST: sarvakāmya) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “He who is the object of all desires”. From sarva (all) and kāmya (desirable, worthy of being desired), this name reveals Vishnu as the supreme aspiration toward whom all longing ultimately flows.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Sarvakāmya is formed from sarva, meaning all or every, and kāmya, an adjectival form of kāma meaning desire or longing, signifying 'that which is worthy of desire.' The name thus declares that every genuine wish, every aspiration of every being, finds its highest fulfillment in Vishnu alone. It reflects the Bhagavad Gītā's teaching that all desires, when purified, lead inevitably toward the Divine.

Vishnu is glorified by this name in the Sahasranama to affirm that He is not merely the granter of wishes but the very ground of desirability itself. Pronounced sar-va-KAM-ya, this name is accessible and carries a warmly devotional resonance.
