Sarvashcharyamaya (सर्वाश्चर्यमय, IAST: Sarvāścaryamaya) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “He who is filled with all wonders”. From sarva (all) + āścarya (wonder, marvel) + maya (filled with), this epithet exalts Vishnu as the very substance of every cosmic marvel that exists.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The root āścarya derives from the verbal sense of that which causes astonishment, and the suffix maya indicates that the Lord does not merely possess wonder but is entirely constituted of it. Every sunrise, every breath, every wheeling galaxy is a facet of His inexhaustible wonder. To name a child Sarvashcharyamaya is to consecrate him to a life lived in perpetual awe of the Divine.

This majestic epithet belongs to Vishnu as celebrated in the Vishnu Sahasranama; because of its length and compound nature it is rarely used as a standalone given name, though Ashcharya is extracted as a simpler form. Pronounce each syllable deliberately: sar-vāś-car-ya-ma-ya.
