Bhaktimatkalpalatika (भक्तिमत्कल्पलतिका, IAST: Bhaktimat-kalpalatikā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “The wish-fulfilling vine for devoted souls”. Combining bhaktimat (one who possesses devotion, a true devotee) + kalpalatikā (the wish-granting creeper, a tender form of the celestial kalpalata), this name presents Lalitā as the divine wish-fulfilling vine that blossoms for those who approach her with genuine love.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The kalpalata is the wish-fulfilling creeper of the celestial realm, related to the kalpataru (wish-fulfilling tree), and here it appears in its tender, feminine form: latikā (a slender creeper). For the devotee who comes with sincere bhakti, Lalitā becomes this very vine — gracefully winding herself around their life and granting every wholesome desire. The name is a poetic promise that devotion itself is the soil in which the Goddess's grace blooms most abundantly.

As a Sahasranāma epithet, Bhaktimat-kalpalatikā is a devotional expression of Lalitā's responsive grace rather than a conventional personal name; its beauty lies in nāma-japa and contemplation. Pronounced bhak-ti-mat-kal-pa-la-ti-kā, it is too lengthy for everyday given-name use but profoundly inspiring as a meditative name.
