Sarvamaṅgalā (सर्वमङ्गला, IAST: Sarvamaṅgalā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who is the source of all auspiciousness”. From sarva (all) and maṅgalā (auspicious, blessed), this name honors Lalitā as the inexhaustible wellspring from which every blessing and good fortune flows into the world.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Maṅgalā is a deeply auspicious word in Sanskrit, linked to the planet Mars (Maṅgala) as well as to well-being, prosperity, and divine favor. The prefix sarva ('all') universalizes this quality absolutely — Lalitā does not bestow selective blessings but is herself the totality of all that is auspicious in existence.

Sarvamaṅgalā is a beloved name of Pārvatī-Durgā across the Śākta tradition and appears in numerous stotras and pūjā texts; it is also one of the classical names chanted on auspicious occasions such as weddings and upanayanas. Pronounced 'sar-va-man-ga-laa,' the name also stands beautifully on its own as Maṅgalā.
