Sarvabhutahitaprada (सर्वभूतहितप्रदा, IAST: Sarvabhūtahitapradā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who bestows welfare upon all living beings”. A compound of sarva (all) + bhūta (beings) + hita (welfare, benefit) + pradā (one who gives), this epithet reveals Lakshmi as the boundless compassionate bestower of well-being to every creature without exception.

Meaning, etymology & significance

This dvandva-style compound brings together sarva (all, entire), bhūta (existent being, creature), hita (that which is beneficial, welfare), and the feminine agent noun pradā (she who grants, from pra- + dā, to give). Together they form a complete theological statement: Lakshmi's grace is not reserved for the fortunate few but flows equally toward every sentient being. This quality aligns her with the Vedic vision of Śrī as the universal mother whose abundance nourishes all life.

While this epithet appears in the Lakshmi Ashtottara Shatanama as a complete devotional title, its length makes it unwieldy as a standalone given name; a child might affectionately be called Hitaprada or Hita as a short form. Pronounced sar-va-bhoo-ta-hi-ta-pra-DAA.
