Murta (मूर्ता, IAST: Mūrtā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who possesses tangible, embodied form”. From the Sanskrit root mūrta (solidified, embodied, having form), this name honors Lalitā as the Goddess who graciously manifests in perceivable, concrete form for the benefit of her devotees.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The root mūrta derives from mūrti, meaning 'embodied shape' or 'concrete manifestation,' related to the root mūrc (to solidify, to take form). As Mūrtā, Lalitā is worshipped in her visible, iconographic splendor—the radiant red-complexioned queen seated on the Śrī Cakra throne, accessible to the devotee's loving gaze.
This name pairs with the very next epithet, Amūrtā, forming a dialectical pair that reveals the Devī as both formed and formless. Simple and melodious, it is entirely usable as a given name; pronounce it MOOR-taa.
Scriptural source
Murta appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
