Smritimatra KhileshTada (स्मृतिमात्राखिलेष्टद, IAST: Smṛtimātrākhileṣṭadā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Fulfiller of all desires upon mere remembrance”. Smṛti (remembrance, memory) + mātra (mere, alone) + akhila (all, entire) + iṣṭa (desired, cherished) + dā (giver), this name proclaims Vishnu as the one who grants every cherished wish simply upon being remembered, without requiring elaborate ritual.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The word smṛti here conveys not just intellectual memory but the warm, heartfelt recollection of the Divine — the kind of loving remembrance that the Bhāgavata calls smaraṇa, one of the nine limbs of bhakti. Mātra emphasizes that this alone is sufficient; no other condition is required. The name thus encapsulates Vishnu's infinite accessibility and the power of nāma-smaraṇa, the devotional practice of holding the Lord's name or form in constant inner awareness.

This epithet belongs to Vishnu as the kāmadhenu of spiritual life, the divine wish-fulfiller who is reached through remembrance alone. A boy named Smritimātradā or simply Smriti carries the blessing of the Lord's instant, gracious response to sincere recollection.
