Sarvaprakrishtashishteshta (सर्वप्रकृष्टशिष्टेष्ट, IAST: Sarvaprakṛṣṭaśiṣṭeṣṭa) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Beloved of all the most excellent and virtuous”. Formed from sarva (all), prakṛṣṭa (most excellent, pre-eminent), śiṣṭa (the learned, virtuous, well-disciplined), and iṣṭa (beloved, desired), this name declares that Viṣṇu is the cherished ideal of every truly noble and disciplined soul.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Prakṛṣṭa, from the prefix pra- intensifying kṛṣ (to draw forward), indicates those who have been elevated beyond ordinary attainment. Śiṣṭa refers specifically to those who embody right conduct, scholarship, and refinement of character. Together they identify an elite of virtue, and the name asserts that among all such eminent souls, Viṣṇu remains the single supreme object of longing and devotion.
Viṣṇu receives this long compound epithet in the Sahasranāma to acknowledge that the highest human aspiration converges always upon the Lord. The name is too cumbersome as a personal given name in its full form and is best preserved as a sacred epithet for liturgical chanting.

Sarvaprakrishtashishteshta appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
