Parama (परमा, IAST: paramā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “The Supreme; the highest, transcendent one”. From the Sanskrit 'parama' (supreme, ultimate, from 'para' meaning beyond), this name exalts Lalitā as the absolute pinnacle of existence, beyond whom nothing higher can be conceived.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The word 'parama' is a superlative form of 'para' (other, beyond), conveying the sense of 'the most beyond' — the ultimate transcendence. As Paramā, the Goddess is proclaimed the sovereign summit of all reality, the highest truth that Vedānta calls Brahman. Every other greatness is but a ray of her supreme luminosity.
Paramā is an epithet of Lalitā Devī found across Śākta literature, signifying her status as the Absolute. Pronounced pah-rah-MAH, it is elegant and accessible, and has long been used as a given name for girls in devotional Hindu households.
Scriptural source
Parama appears in the Lalitha Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Lalitha.
