Sakinyambasvarupini (साकिन्यम्बास्वरूपिणी, IAST: Sākinyambāsvarūpiṇī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who embodies the shakti Sākinī as divine Mother”. Uniting 'sākinī' (the presiding shakti of the Ājñā or Viśuddha chakra), 'ambā' (divine Mother), and 'svarūpiṇī' (one who has that very form, the very embodiment), this name declares Lalitā to be the universal Mother manifest as the radiant Sākinī.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Sākinī is the shakti associated in Tāntric cosmology with the Viśuddha (throat) chakra, governing sound, speech, and subtle communication; she is depicted as luminous white, holding a book and a skull. 'Ambā,' meaning Mother, elevates Sākinī from a subordinate power to a maternal, nurturing aspect of the supreme Devī. 'Svarūpiṇī' — from 'sva-rūpa,' one's own true form — indicates that this is not a disguise but the Goddess's very essence.

This epithet of Lalitā is part of the chakra-shakti sequence in the Lalitā Sahasranāma. 'Sākinī' or 'Sākini' can serve as a devotional girl's name, carrying the resonance of divine speech and inner light, though it is not common outside Tāntric devotional circles.
