Gunanidhi (गुणनिधिः, IAST: Guṇanidhiḥ) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is the treasure-house of all virtues”. From 'guṇa' (virtue, quality) and 'nidhi' (treasure, storehouse), this name celebrates the Goddess as the inexhaustible repository of every divine excellence.

Meaning, etymology & significance

In Sanskrit, 'nidhi' refers to a buried or celestial treasure of immeasurable worth; pairing it with 'guṇa'—the full spectrum of auspicious qualities—declares the Goddess to be a living treasury from which devotees may draw compassion, beauty, wisdom, and grace without depletion. The epithet reflects the Śākta understanding that all virtuous qualities in creation are ultimately emanations of the Divine Mother's own infinite nature.

As an attribute of Śrī Lalitā, this name appears in the Lalitā Sahasranāma. 'Guṇanidhi' is a warm, usable given name for girls; it is pronounced 'goo-na-ni-dhee' with light stress on the first syllable.
