Paramatmika (परमात्मिका, IAST: Paramātmikā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She whose essence is the Supreme Soul”. From parama (supreme, highest) + ātman (the Self, Soul) + the suffix -ikā (one who is of that nature), Paramātmikā names Lakshmi as the one whose very being is the Highest Self, the undivided, ultimate consciousness.
Meaning, etymology & significance
Paramātmikā is a feminine adjective formed from paramātman—itself a compound of parama (supremely excellent, ultimate) and ātman (the indwelling Self or Soul)—with the feminine suffix -ikā indicating her identity with that principle. In Vedāntic thought, the Paramātman is the transcendent, all-pervading consciousness that underlies every individual soul. By calling Lakshmi Paramātmikā, the stotra declares that she is not merely the goddess of fortune but the living expression of the Absolute itself.
This profound epithet appears in the Lakshmi Ashtottara Shatanama to lift devotional worship toward an awareness of Lakshmi as the Brahman clothed in grace. Pronounced pa-ra-MAAT-mi-kaa; occasionally used as a given name by families with strong Vaiṣṇava or Śrī Vidyā backgrounds.
Scriptural source
Paramatmika appears in the Lakshmi Ashtottaram, among the sacred names of Lakshmi.
