Jagaddhatri (जगद्धात्री, IAST: Jagaddhātrī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who upholds and sustains the world”. From jagat (the moving world) and dhātrī (sustainer, nourisher, nurse), this name honors Lalitā as the divine force that holds the entire cosmos in steady existence.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Jagat refers to the ever-moving phenomenal world, and dhātrī derives from the root dhā, meaning to hold, bear, or nourish. As Jagaddhātrī, the Goddess is the invisible yet ever-present ground of being that prevents the universe from dissolving into chaos.
Jagaddhātrī is also worshipped as an independent form of the Goddess in Bengal, particularly in Chandannagar. The name is pronounced juh-gud-dhaa-tree, with the double consonant gently aspirated.
