Nishparigraha (निष्परिग्रहा, IAST: Niṣpārigrahā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is without possessions; perfectly non-acquisitive”. From niṣ (without) and parigraha (acquisition, grasping, possessions), this name honors the Goddess as the embodiment of supreme non-attachment, owning nothing because she already is everything.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Aparigraha, the renunciation of grasping, is a cornerstone of yogic ethics, and the Goddess as Niṣpārigrahā elevates this virtue to its absolute divine expression. She who is the source of all wealth and abundance holds none of it for herself — her very nature is total giving. This quality makes her the ideal refuge for those seeking liberation from the binding force of material clinging.

As an epithet in the Lalitā Sahasranāma, Niṣpārigrahā reminds devotees that the divine mother is completely free of ego-driven acquisition. Pronounced nish-paa-ri-gra-haa, this name is philosophically rich though somewhat uncommon as a given name for children.
