Nityapushta (नित्यपुष्टा, IAST: nityapuṣṭā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is eternally nourished and ever-flourishing”. Nitya (eternal) and puṣṭā (nourished, thriving) together describe Lakshmi as the goddess whose abundance never diminishes — forever full, forever sustaining.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Puṣṭā derives from the root puṣ, meaning to nourish, thrive, or cause to flourish, while nitya conveys the absolute and unceasing nature of her vitality. As Nityapuṣṭā, Lakshmi is the inexhaustible source of nourishment for all living beings, never depleted regardless of how freely she bestows her grace. This epithet underscores the Vedic understanding that true abundance is self-renewing when rooted in the divine.
This compound epithet is celebrated in the Lakshmi Ashtottaram as a testament to her unfailing generosity. As a given name it is somewhat long but can be used in full or shortened to Pushta; pronounced ni-TYA-push-taa.
Scriptural source
Nityapushta appears in the Lakshmi Ashtottaram, among the sacred names of Lakshmi.
