Sarvamangala (सर्वमङ्गल, IAST: Sarvamaṅgala) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “The all-auspicious one; source of every blessing”. From sarva (all) and maṅgala (auspiciousness, well-being, blessing), this exalted name proclaims Vishnu as the ultimate source and sum of every auspicious power in creation, from whom all blessings flow.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Maṅgala is one of the most cherished concepts in Hindu sacred life, denoting auspiciousness, welfare, and the divine benevolence that underpins every good and fortunate thing in existence. Combined with sarva ('all' or 'every'), the name declares that Vishnu is not merely auspicious in a partial sense but is the complete totality of all that is blessed and beneficial in the universe. Tradition holds that simply uttering this name at the start of an undertaking draws the Lord's protective auspiciousness around the devotee.

Sarvamaṅgala is a beloved name in Vaishnava communities and is occasionally given to children as a wish for a life blessed in every dimension; it is also an epithet of the Goddess in some traditions, though here it belongs distinctly to Vishnu. Pronounced sar-va-MAN-ga-la, with the nasal 'ṅ' lending a gentle resonance.
