Yogapriya (योगप्रिय, IAST: Yogapriya) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Dear to yoga; one who loves union with the divine”. From yoga (union, discipline, spiritual practice) and priya (beloved, dear), this name reveals Vishnu as the Lord who delights in the devotee's sincere endeavor toward divine communion.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Yoga in its broadest sense means any path of disciplined union with the Supreme — whether through knowledge, action, devotion, or meditation. Priya, from the root prī (to please, to love), indicates that which is cherished. As Yogapriya, Vishnu is described as One who is especially pleased by those who walk the path of yoga, and who is Himself the ultimate beloved toward whom all yoga is directed.
Yogapriya appears as an epithet of Vishnu and is also affectionately used for Krishna, the supreme teacher of yoga in the Bhagavad Gita; the name is pronounced 'yo-gah-PREE-yah' and works well as a given name.

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