Ekākinī (एकाकिनी, IAST: Ekākinī) is an Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who stands utterly alone, the solitary One”. From eka (one, alone) with the suffix -ākinī indicating absolute aloneness, this name honours Lalitā as the non-dual reality who, before and beyond all creation, exists in perfect, unaccompanied singularity.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Ekākinī resonates with the Upaniṣadic declaration ekam evādvitīyam — 'one alone, without a second' — affirming that the Goddess is the undivided, self-luminous consciousness that needs no companion or complement. Far from implying loneliness, the name exalts the absolute self-sufficiency of her being; she is the whole unto herself. In tantric metaphysics, this singularity precedes even the primal division into Śiva and Śakti.
Ekākinī is occasionally adopted as a girl's name in devout families, especially those with a Śrī Vidyā inclination, where it conveys spiritual independence and inner completeness. The name is pronounced e-kā-ki-nī with equal emphasis on each long syllable.
Scriptural source
Ekākinī appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
