Kamakotika (कामकोटिका, IAST: Kāmakoṭikā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is the seat of a crore of desires fulfilled”. Kāma (desire, love, or the deity of love) and koṭi (ten million, an infinite multitude) with the feminine diminutive -kā together form a name meaning 'she who is the abode of infinite love and desire's fulfillment.'

Meaning, etymology & significance

Kāmakoṭi is also the name of the sacred pīṭha at Kāñcīpuram, and Lalitā as Kāmakoṭikā is its presiding goddess. The name thus carries both cosmological significance — infinite love — and geographical sanctity as the patroness of one of India's most revered Śākta seats.

The epithet belongs to Śrī Lalitā Mahātripurasundarī, the presiding deity of the Kāmakoṭi Pīṭha. Pronounced kā-ma-ko-ṭi-kā, it makes a melodious and spiritually potent girl's name.
