Varuniasha (वारुणीश, IAST: Vāruṇīśa) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Lord of Varuṇī, the divine wine-goddess”. From Vāruṇī (the goddess of wine, born of the cosmic churning, associated with Varuṇa's realm) and īśa (lord/master), this name celebrates Vishnu as the sovereign over Vāruṇī, the divine liquor that emerged from the ocean of milk.
Meaning, etymology & significance
During the Samudra Manthan (churning of the cosmic ocean), Vāruṇī—the goddess of divine wine—arose from the waters and was received by the asuras. The name Vāruṇīśa highlights Vishnu's lordship over all treasures that emerged from the cosmic churning, including this intoxicating divine gift. In a deeper sense, as Vāruṇī is associated with the waters and with Varuṇa's realm, Vishnu's mastery over her signifies his sovereignty over the cosmic waters themselves.
This epithet appears in stotra traditions celebrating Vishnu's lordship over all cosmic gifts; it is pronounced vaa-ru-nee-sha and is usable as a traditional given name.
Scriptural source
Varuniasha appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
