Yadukulodhava (यदुकुलोद्वह, IAST: Yadukulodvaha) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Upholder and glory of the Yadu dynasty”. From 'yadu-kula' (the clan of the ancient king Yadu) and 'udvaha' (one who carries, uplifts, or glorifies), this name proclaims Krishna the supreme bearer and crown of his entire ancestral lineage.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The Yadu dynasty traced its origin to King Yadu, son of Yayati, and over centuries became one of the most celebrated royal lineages of ancient India. 'Udvaha,' from the root 'vah' (to carry or bear) with the prefix 'ut' (upward), conveys the image of one who lifts his lineage to its greatest height—and indeed Krishna's birth in the Yadu clan elevated it to eternal fame. The name thus honors both ancestral heritage and the transformative power of divine incarnation within human history.
This epithet of Krishna is used in the Sahasranama to celebrate his inseparable connection to the Yadava tradition; it carries a beautiful meaning and is occasionally adopted as a given name in families with strong Yadava or Vaishnava identity. Pronounced ya-du-ku-lo-dva-ha, with natural flowing rhythm.

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