Urukrama (उरुक्रम, IAST: Urukrama) is an Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “He of vast, mighty, and wondrous strides”. From 'uru' (vast, wide, great) and 'krama' (step, stride, progression), this Vedic name celebrates Vishnu's three great strides that spanned the entire cosmos, a feat hymned in the Rigveda.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Urukrama is one of the most ancient epithets of Vishnu, appearing already in the Rigveda, where the deity Vishnu is praised for his three wide-stepping strides. 'Uru' means vast or great, and 'krama' from the root 'kram' means to step or stride. Together they evoke the image of the Lord whose steps encompass earth, sky, and the highest heavens in a single divine motion. The Vamana avatara gave this ancient Vedic quality its most vivid Puranic expression.
Urukrama is a distinctly Vishnu-specific epithet found in both Vedic and Puranic literature. Pronounced 'OO-roo-kra-ma,' it is occasionally used as a traditional given name for boys in families devoted to the Vaishnava tradition.
Scriptural source
Urukrama appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
