Mangala Devi (मङ्गला देवी, IAST: Maṅgalā Devī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “The auspicious goddess; divine source of all blessings”. Maṅgalā, from the root maṅgala meaning 'auspiciousness,' paired with Devī, 'goddess,' proclaims Lakshmi as the supreme deity who is the very fountain of all that is holy and fortunate.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Maṅgalā is derived from the Sanskrit word maṅgala, which encompasses auspiciousness, well-being, and sacred good fortune. Paired with Devī, the word for goddess, this compound title declares Lakshmi to be the divine source from whom all benedictions descend. Maṅgala is also associated with the planet Mars and with the auspicious vermilion mark worn by married women, linking this name to marital felicity and domestic happiness.
Maṅgalā Devī is typically used as a liturgical title in stotra recitation; Maṅgalā alone is warmly favored as a given name. Pronounced man-ga-lā de-vī, the name resonates with festive sanctity.
