Sarvashakti (सर्वशक्ति, IAST: Sarvaśakti) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “The possessor of all powers and divine energies”. From sarva (all) and śakti (power, energy, divine force), this name honours Vishnu as the inexhaustible reservoir of every form of power — creative, protective, and liberating — without which nothing in the universe could function.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Śakti derives from the root śak, meaning 'to be able, to have power,' and denotes both inherent capacity and the radiant energy through which that capacity acts in the world. In Vaishnava theology, the Lord's śaktis are described as infinite and diverse — his power of knowledge (jñāna-śakti), his power of action (kriyā-śakti), and his power of will (icchā-śakti) are each boundless. The name Sarvaśakti thus proclaims that every force perceived in nature is but a partial expression of Vishnu's inexhaustible might.

As an epithet of Vishnu, Sarvashakti is invoked in protective prayers and in rites seeking empowerment for righteous endeavours. Pronounced sar-va-śak-ti, it has a strong, vibrant sound that makes it equally suitable as a devotional given name for a boy who is offered to the Lord's service.
