Meaning, etymology & significance
Devayajni (देवयज्ञी) is built from deva (god) + yajñī (the feminine of yajna, sacrifice). The literal sense is "she who performs deva-yajna" — the formal worship of the gods. In Vedic tradition there are five great daily yajnas (the pancha-mahā-yajna), of which deva-yajna is one.
To name a daughter Devayajni is therefore to mark her as a daughter of the dharmic-yajna tradition — one whose life involves the daily honouring of the cosmic order.
The name is rare in 2026 and unmistakably Vedic.
Pronunciation: de-va-YAJ-nee. Pair with classical-Brahmanic surnames.
