Sarvamayī (सर्वमयी, IAST: Sarvamayī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who pervades and constitutes all existence”. From sarva (all, everything) and mayī (consisting of, permeated by), this name reveals Lalitā as the living substance of the entire universe — not merely present within creation but identical with it.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The suffix mayī, from the Sanskrit root expressing pervasion and constitution, elevates this name beyond mere omnipresence. Sarvamayī declares that the Devī does not merely dwell within all things but that all things are, in their very substance, expressions of her being. This is the devotional articulation of the non-dual understanding at the heart of Śrī Vidyā philosophy.

This name echoes the famous Devī Gītā verse 'I am all this' and aligns with tantric cosmology in which the universe is viewed as the body of the Goddess. As a given name, Sarvamayī is melodious and spiritually resonant; it is used in traditional Śākta families particularly in South India.
