Aprajita (अपराजिता, IAST: aparājitā) is an Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “Undefeated; the invincible goddess”. Feminine of aparājita — the unconquered; an epithet of Durga.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Aprajita (अपराजिता) is the feminine of aparājita — "undefeated, unconquered." In Hindu Devi-tradition Aparajita is one of the principal epithets of Durga — the goddess whom no demon could defeat. The Devi Mahatmyam invokes her with this epithet throughout.
The Aparajita-puja is also a specific Devi ritual performed during Navaratri, especially on Vijaya Dashami. To name a daughter Aprajita is therefore to invoke this entire Devi-warrior tradition.
The name is unusually powerful — invoking the invincibility of the Devi herself.
Pronunciation: a-pa-RAA-ji-taa. Pair with classical surnames where the Devi-tradition is welcome.
Astrology — nakshatra & rashi
By the standard Vedic correspondence between the first syllable of a name and the lunar mansion (nakshatra), Aprajita aligns with the Krittika nakshatra, under the Mesha rashi (Moon sign).
