Vishvavijayine (विश्वविजयिन्, IAST: Viśvavijayī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Conqueror of the entire universe”. From 'viśva' (universe, all) and 'vijayī' (victorious one, conqueror), this epithet declares Viṣṇu's absolute, unchallenged dominion over all creation.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The word 'vijayī' derives from 'vi-ji' (to conquer thoroughly), with the suffix '-in' denoting a habitual quality—one who is ever victorious. Combined with 'viśva' (the totality of existence), Viśvavijayī proclaims that Viṣṇu's triumph is not merely over enemies but over all that exists, for all worlds rest within His sovereign embrace. This is a name that resonates with Viṣṇu's cosmic role as the upholder of dharma across all realms.

As a Sahasranāma epithet, Viśvavijayī is invoked to invoke courage and the assurance that righteousness always prevails under the Lord's protection. The nominative form Viśvavijayī (ending in long 'ī') is pronounced vish-va-vi-ja-yee.
