Yathayogyakhilakrupa (यथायोग्याखिलकृप, IAST: Yathāyogyākhilakṛpa) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “One who bestows grace on all as fitting and deserved”. From yathāyogya (as befitting, proportionately appropriate), akhila (all, entire), and kṛpa (grace, compassion), this epithet reveals Viṣṇu's perfectly calibrated and all-encompassing compassion.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Yathāyogya compounds yathā (as, according to) with yogya (fit, worthy, appropriate), while akhila means entire or without remainder, and kṛpa denotes tender grace or compassion. This name is a profound theological statement: Viṣṇu's grace is not random or mechanical but is bestowed in perfect measure according to the readiness and merit of each being, while simultaneously embracing all of creation without exclusion. His compassion is both perfectly just and universally present.

This elaborate compound epithet is primarily a devotional and philosophical descriptor within the Sahasranāma tradition, conveying a deep truth about divine grace. As a given name it is unwieldy, but the root Kṛpa alone is usable. Pronounced yuh-thā-yog-yā-khi-luh-kṛ-puh.
