Akshama (अक्षमा, IAST: akṣamā) is an Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “Beyond patience; the boundless forbearance”. From a- (without/beyond) + kṣamā (forbearance); beyond ordinary patience.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Akshama (अक्षमा) carries a paradox: built from a- + kṣamā (forbearance), it can mean either "without patience" (the more usual classical sense) or "beyond ordinary patience, the boundless forbearance." In modern naming the second sense predominates.
In Hindu ethical tradition kṣamā is one of the six divine-feminine qualities through which Krishna manifests (Bhagavad Gita 10.34). To name a daughter Akshama is therefore to wish her this boundless-forbearance quality.
The name is uncommon in 2026 but unmistakably Sanskrit.
Pronunciation: ak-SHA-maa. Pair with classical surnames.
Astrology — nakshatra & rashi
