Vishtarashrva (विष्टरश्रवस्, IAST: Viṣṭaraśravas) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “He whose fame is vast and all-pervading”. From viṣṭara (expansive, widespread, vast) and śravas (fame, glory, renown), this ancient Vedic-flavored name proclaims Vishnu as the one whose glory pervades and fills all of creation without limit.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Śravas is a Vedic word cognate with the Greek kleos, both deriving from the Proto-Indo-European root *kleu- meaning 'to hear' — fame being literally 'what is heard everywhere.' Viṣṭara, from vi + stṛ (to spread out widely), conveys the image of glory spread as a vast canopy over all worlds. Together they paint Vishnu as the supreme being whose glory resounds through all the Vedas, all the worlds, and all of time.
Viṣṭaraśravas appears in Vedic literature as a title associated with boundless divine renown, and its inclusion in the Sahasranāma connects Vishnu to the oldest layers of Indo-Aryan divine praise. The name Vishravas (famous) is a more accessible derivative used as a given name.

Vishtarashrva appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
