Sarvajña (सर्वज्ञा, IAST: Sarvajñā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is omniscient, knowing all things”. From sarva (all) and jña (knowing), this name reveals Lalitā as the all-pervading consciousness in whom no truth is hidden.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Sarvajñā is composed of the Sanskrit roots sarva, meaning 'all' or 'everything,' and jña, derived from the root jñā meaning 'to know.' Together they express absolute, unbounded cognition. In the Lalitā Sahasranāma, this name honors the Devī as the supreme knower of past, present, and future — the witness-consciousness within all beings.

Sarvajñā is a celebrated epithet of Lalitā, Pārvatī, and Sarasvatī across Śākta and Śaiva traditions. Pronounced 'sar-va-gyaa,' the ñ blends into a soft 'ny/gy' sound in most regional pronunciations.
