Meaning, etymology & significance
Brahmavidya (ब्रह्मविद्या) is built from Brahman — the supreme cosmic absolute — + vidyā (knowledge, science). The literal sense is "knowledge of Brahman" — the highest of all spiritual sciences in Hindu tradition.
In the Upanishads brahma-vidya is the supreme teaching — that which liberates the soul from samsara. The very word names the highest of the four puruṣārthas (mokṣa) as a science.
A daughter named Brahmavidya is therefore named with this loftiest Vedantic teaching as her very essence. The name has unusual philosophical depth.
Pronunciation: brah-ma-VID-yaa. Pair with classical-Brahmanic surnames.
