Paramodara (परमोदारा, IAST: Paramodārā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is supremely generous and magnanimous”. From parama (supreme, highest) and udāra (noble, generous, magnanimous), this name proclaims Lalitā as the source of the most exalted and boundless generosity.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Udāra derives from the root ud-ṛ, meaning to rise up or uplift, and carries the sense of a lofty, open-handed nobility. Combined with parama, it declares that no generosity in creation can match the Goddess's limitless bestowal of grace, wisdom, and liberation.

This epithet encourages devotees to approach the Goddess without hesitation, trusting in Her inexhaustible willingness to give. Pronounced puh-ruh-mo-daa-raa, this name makes a graceful and meaningful choice for a girl.
